Today’s game against Huddersfield Town has been designated as Everton Football Club’s ‘Kick It Out Match of Action’ and a host of activities will be taking place in and around the stadium to celebrate diversity across Merseyside.
Everton’s support of Kick It Out is complemented by the work of Everton in the Community (EitC) and, all year round, the Blues’ official charity works with Kick It Out and other leading organisations to encourage equality and diversity across Merseyside. It is committed to supporting all members of the community, regardless of their race, gender, creed or sexual orientation.
Established in 1993, Kick It Out is a campaigning organisation which enables, facilitates and works with the football authorities, professional clubs, players, fans and communities to tackle all forms of discrimination.
The Club’s combined work with EitC in positively encouraging equality and diversity was recently awarded the inaugural ‘Kick It Out Promoting Inclusion Award’ at the Leesa Northwest Football Awards in recognition of its efforts in making football in the region more accessible and inclusive.
AGE
The charitable arm of the Club runs a number of highly successful age-specific programmes and initiatives which have been recognised and commended nationwide for the successful impact they have for Merseyside residents, including ‘Pass on the Memories’ and ‘Kicks’.
Delivered in partnership with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, Pass on the Memories is a pioneering programme that supports people living with dementia and their carers, whilst Kicks is an initiative that offers free football coaching in a bid to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour open to young people across Merseyside, and delivered in partnership with Merseyside Police and the local council.
