Bill Kenwright has been leading Everton’s effort to help lessen the impact of the coronavirus crisis by ringing dozens of self-isolating elderly fans.
The club’s award-winning community programme recognised many senior citizens will be lonely after being warned not to go out or have contact with others.
And a number of measures have been announced, with an initial £50,000 of funding, for a coordinated outreach campaign.
It aims to provide assistance and support to those most vulnerable, socially isolated and at risk during what is in effect a lockdown for them.
The initiative has seen thousands of food parcels distributed, financial assistance given to buy medicines, breakfast packages for children, mobile phone credit and support with gas and electricity bills.
