Everton feed more people than the Gwladys Street and Park End combined during cost of living crisis

Everton in the Community’s essential food market initiative, the Blue Base Pantry has marked 12 months of delivery, providing 17,462 people - more than the combined capacities of the Gwladys Street and Park End, Goodison Park's two stands behind the goals - with access to high-quality discounted food and saving over 18 tonnes of food from landfill.

The official charity of Everton Football Club delivers a range of life-changing programmes across Liverpool City Region aimed at tackling social issues which are most prevalent on the streets of Merseyside including health, employability, anti-social behaviour, education and poverty.

The majority of EitC’s delivery takes place in Liverpool 4, one of the most socially deprived wards in the UK and a year ago, Blue Base Pantry was launched to help the local community cope with the aftereffects of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
