EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY REINFORCE COMMITMENT TO LIVERPOOL 4 WITH

Everton in the Community, the official charity of Everton Football Club, has reaffirmed its commitment to the area surrounding Goodison Park with a new campaign highlighting its present and future provision in Liverpool 4.

‘Forever’ will enforce EitC’s current presence in the area whilst highlighting Everton Football Club’s commitment to the ward surrounding Goodison Park through the lifesaving work of its official charity.

For more than 130 years, Everton Football Club has called Goodison Park and L4, home.

The area will have a permanent place in the hearts of every Evertonian whilst the charity’s latest campaign will ensure the Club’s presence in L4 will be felt forever in equal measure through the pioneering work of EitC.

Since 1988, EitC has stood proudly alongside the Club at the heart of its community; supporting tens of thousands of individuals every year from across Liverpool City Region through its 60+ projects and initiatives.

The majority of its work, however, takes place in the Kirkdale and County wards of North Liverpool which are in the most deprived 1% of neighbourhoods nationally, and located a stone’s throw away from Goodison Park.

‘FOREVER’ CAMPAIGN

The last 10 years has seen the charity invest more than £13million in the regeneration of the area surrounding Goodison Park and restored pride in the area with new buildings designed to meet the ever-growing needs of the community including The Blue Base, The People’s Hub and the Premier League’s first mental health and wellbeing hub, The People’s Place.

In addition to this, EitC has opened the region’s first Digital Skills Lab to tackle digital deprivation in the area as well as providing young adults at risk of homelessness with a roof over their head through its fan-funded ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’ project.
