Everton legend Duncan Ferguson has donated a Sunshine Coach for the use of hundreds of Everton in the Community participants.
The donation from Everton’s first-team coach comes from funds from his testimonial year and Variety, the Children’s Charity.
The Goodison favourite was on hand at Finch Farm with the Executive Chair of Everton in the Community, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Executive Director of Everton in the Community, Phil Duffy, members of his testimonial committee and representatives from Variety to welcome a group of local schoolchildren, who were using the brand-new minibus for the first time.
The minibus will be used specifically by participants under the age of 18, providing transportation for a number of the charities’ programmes and projects including the disability sports sessions, life-skills workshops, education programmes and training schemes which can operate from 8am until 10pm, potentially up to seven days a week.
