Everton in The Community

Everton in the Community is one of the UK's top sporting charities and is considered one of the Premier League's leading community schemes due to the quality and reach of its programmes.  

Established in 1988, Everton in the Community has been at the forefront of social intervention across Merseyside, not afraid to tackle issues which others shied away from.    

The Club’s official charity received Freedom of the City – Liverpool’s highest civic honour – in 2018 in recognition for its impact to the local community and in 2020, Everton in the Community was visited by The Duke of Cambridge to find out more about its work and how it uses its influence to support its fans and community and address key social issues affecting the city.  

Everton in the Community delivers more than 50 projects a year, specifically designed and developed to combat challenges which are prevalent across Merseyside such as mental health, employability, dementia, education, disability, poverty and homelessness.  

The charity’s projects support people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds from over 135 venues across the city region. From delivering the Premier League Primary Stars programme to school children to supporting the elderly members of the Liverpool community who are suffering from social isolation, Everton in the Community is open and inclusive to all.
