Around 20 children will be able to receive new football shirts they wouldn't otherwise have had thanks to a fundraising drive.
Kit It Out was launched by Paul Morgan and Michelle Smith as a grassroots community group to help Liverpool families who are counting the pennies because of the cost of living crisis.
The pair are already comfortably on course to reach their target of £1,000, meaning around 20 new Everton or Liverpool shirts can be bought and distributed to those who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford them.

Paul said: "We're trying to raise as much money as we can to get football shirts to families so they can put them in their Christmas stockings. With the cost of living skyrocketing, it will help to fill a gap so kids can play football with their mates.
"Families of four have sometimes only got one football kit between them, so they have to share it each day. Children may not understand the circumstances as to why they can't afford their own.
"A child's first football shirt is magic and may be the link into getting him or her to play football and be the next big star or maybe even just make that child's imagination run wild playing in their new kit for a few hours."
