Ronald Koeman has thrown his full support behind Everton’s Home Is Where The Heart Is campaign.
Spearheaded by Under-23s coach David Unsworth and supported by Everton in the Community Executive Chair Denise Barrett-Baxendale and the Club’s young players, the goal of the programme is to help young people on the brink of homelessness across the city of Liverpool.
Unsworth and co. have set a fundraising target of £230,000 to fund and develop a supported living initiative for young people in Liverpool, delivered by Everton in the Community. The money raised will be used to purchase, and operate, a house close to Goodison Park which will offer 16 to 23-year-olds who have fallen on hard times, or have perhaps fallen out of the care system, a place to stay in Liverpool.
