... what a great piece it is in the Telegraph in appreciation of the "Everton in the Community" work. And just goes to show how footballers donÂ’t just train and piss off home.
"players such as John Stones and Steven Naismith run autism and homeless initiatives respectively. Everton work with young offenders, achieving a 76 per cent non-reoffending rate in the first year, compared with the national figure of 26%."
I assume Duncan is involved in the last initiative.

Just to be cynical, the government have invested ٥m into the scheme, is that the result of BillÂ’s Â’24/7 watch this space?Â’

Through my work (Social Care), over 10 years ago, I was aware how dedicated Everton really are. Any direction that I was pointed in, I soon learned that IÂ’d bump into someone involved in one or more EvertonÂ’s "Give it Back" tendrils.........
Ours is not a cheap tawdry glory hunting club.....
But then
............those who understand need no explanation....

Awesome article; especially the parts on Naismith and Stones.
I really did know a little about this.

I met Ossie at a function which was held the city centre, and my wife and I were blown away by what he and others do for the community. I remind my RS supporting pals of it every chance I get, it really pisses them off ha ha.
Keep it up, Blues.

The Government see what great work the club is dong and gives us ٥ million to do even more. Just think what good those 30 people can do for others!
The article filled me with pride, and faith in humanity. Well done EFC, and to the other clubs rivaling us in their good works.

Also proud to see the club involved with so many initiatives to help people less fortunate than others. Well done, Everton Football Club.
