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.
