This weekend will see Everton Football Club, Everton Ladies and Everton in the Community join football clubs across the country in celebrating the contribution refugees have made to football as part of the Amnesty International initiative, ‘Football Welcomes’.
And on his recent return to Goodison Park, Everton International Ambassador Steven Pienaar spent time with Everton in the Community to find out more about the role that the Club’s official charity plays in supporting refugees and asylum seekers in their relocation to Liverpool.
Former Blues winger Pienaar, the Club’s first International Ambassador, went along to The People’s Hub to meet participants who attend the charity’s weekly coaching session for refugees, asylum seekers and people currently experiencing, or have experienced, homelessness or addiction issues.
