Everton in the Community is one of the UK’s top sporting charities and firmly established on the world stage of community sports development. As Everton football club’s official charity, it is considered one of the Premier League’s leading community schemes due to the quality and reach of its various programmes.
Since 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.
Through its 240+ dedicated full-time staff and 160+ volunteers, the charity offers more than 40 programmes covering a range of social issues including health, employability, anti-social behaviour, crime, education, dementia, poverty, youth engagement, youth justice and disability.
Operating seven days a week, 365 days a year, Everton in the Community supports the most vulnerable and underprivileged members of local communities, and the charity aims to instil confidence in others by creating life-changing opportunities. Thousands of people have already benefited from the magnificent work they do.
In March 2023, Everton in the Community has become the first charity attached to a Premier League Club to open a purpose-built mental health and wellbeing hub.
The People’s Place provides a dedicated space for Everton in the Community to promote mental and physical wellbeing through its award-winning mental health provision.
The People’s Place also caters for a range of activities around sport, education and employment, all of which are proven to improve mental health. The building will also provide a layer of professional support with a team of GPs and mental health professionals on site, enabling the charity to provide clinical services to achieve clinical outcomes.
Electrical Contractor ‘Electrical Integrated Services’ approached Dextra to provide several products for the new building. They worked in conjunction with Ashlar Construction (NW) Limited to deliver the project for the end client.
