A SPECIAL football tournament takes place in Stanley Park ahead of the match today.
The club’s official charity, Everton in the Community, will be holding a series of exhibition matches to showcase its award-winning mental health programme, Imagine Your Goals.

There will also be staff on hand to offer anyone interested in the programme advice or information and the opportunity to sign an anti-discrimination pledge.
One in four people live with a mental health problem in the United Kingdom and often suffer in silence.
Everton in the Community developed an exercise programme called ‘Imagine Your Goals’ in 2007, which since then has benefited hundreds of people all across Merseyside.
The programme offers local people who are living with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, an opportunity to talk about their problems and seek help and support in a familiar environment.
For more information about Imagine Your Goals contact Everton in the Community on 0151 530 5253 or visit the websiteevertonfc.com/community.
