Toffees Under-23s duo Joe Williams and Mateusz Hewelt were the guests of honour on Tuesday evening when they attended the annual Everton in the Community Disability Awards at the prestigious Isla Gladstone Conservatory.
Supported by title sponsor 02 Shop in Bootle, the annual awards recognise the footballing achievements of players from nine of the charity’s disability teams that play across Merseyside.
The young Blues pair opened the proceedings and awarded trophies for Players’ Player of the Year and Manager’s Player of the Year to players from Everton in the Community’s world renowned disability programme as well as the Dave Thomas Award to Tom Steward, an EitC volunteer who dedicates over 30 hours of his time each week to driving participants to and from games and training sessions.
