Chairman Promises 'Great' Goodison Park Legacy

Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright is promising the Club will leave a “great, great legacy” when they relocate from Goodison Park to a proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Mr Kenwright credited Chief Executive, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale’s vision in regenerating the area surrounding the Club’s 126-year-old home.

Everton’s official charity, Everton in the Community [EitC], officially opened The Blue Base – a function centre for vulnerable and disabled fans – in September last year, expanding a footprint which already included Everton Free School, The People’s Hub and five houses on Goodison Road, which house EitC’s discreet programmes.

In August last year the Club announced plans to raise funds for The People’s Place, a permanent mental health facility located in the shadow of Goodison Park.
