PRESTIGIOUS AWARD FOR CLUB’S CHARITABLE ARM

Everton in the Community, the official charitable arm of Everton Football Club, and its long-term strategic partner, the Steve Morgan Foundation recently won the ‘Best Corporate Social Responsibility Scheme’ at this year’s prestigious Football Business Awards for its collaborative initiative, the ‘Steve Morgan Community Impact Model’.

EitC has been working with the Steve Morgan Foundation since 2020, delivering the Impact Model in Speke-Garston to protect young people from exploitation and inspire them to reach their full potential, and it is thanks to the success of the charity’s delivery in South Liverpool as to why the early intervention programmes were also rolled out across Liverpool L4 and South Sefton last July.

Reflecting on EitC’s significant impact in Speke-Garston alone, an independent report by socio-economic specialists, RealWorth found that for every £1 spent to deliver the Impact Model, £17.78 of social value was created for society. As a result, EitC has generated a remarkable £35.6million of total social value in the last three years from March 2020 to December 2023.

Additionally, EitC’s impact in Speke-Garston subsequently enabled the charity to secure additional multi-million-pound funding from the Steve Morgan Foundation to extend the Impact Model across L4 and South Sefton almost a year ago, with EitC having made a tangible difference to the lives of more than 27,000 young people in the key delivery areas across Liverpool City Region to date.

EitC also scooped up silver for the ‘Best Football Community Scheme’ at the Football Business Awards, with the charity supporting over 20,000 individuals a year through its 60+ programmes and initiatives.

The ‘Best CSR’ award highlights work carried out under the Steve Morgan Foundation focused areas of delivery. Steve Morgan is passionate about bringing positive change to the communities across Liverpool and changing lives for good.

The Club’s official charity would not have the impact that it does in the communities it serves without the support of its key strategic partners.
