Maen nhw'n award at the North West Football Awards for Unsung Hero. Whatever that is. Well, you're an unsung hero. So there you go. No, it's quite a surprise actually to actually win the award. I think the good thing was that Colin Harvey also on the same evening won the Lifetime Achievement Award. So it was great to see Colin out. But I just head up the projects that we run particularly with people who are living with dementia and Alzheimer's. People who are caring for them. I've got a fantastic staff. We've got 10 or 12 volunteers as well as obviously Pathfinder now and Lee Johnson who support the programme with me. So I think it was for them really, not just for me. But it was great to be recognised by your peers in football and to win an award. And also Everton scooped the two top awards of the evening which was fantastic. So it was good. I know Joe knew about it but I've seen him in the foyer. What are you doing here? And then he presented the award to Colin which was great. So it was really good. It was a good night for Everton. Great night for Everton. Henry, what's your exact title, your role? Well, I say General Talks, what do you do? Everything, do this. The fans say to me what do you do? Everything bar picked the first team. And sometimes they said well you should be doing that. But that's by the bye. I'm the club's community engagement officer. I've been the club's community engagement for about 12 years now. So that's been, as it slightly says, it engages people. When I first got the role or took the role on, I looked up really what we didn't really engage in. It was really with young women and the older members of the community. We went in partnership with Maisie Kerr in relation to dementia and Alzheimer's. Sadly, dementia and Alzheimer's, though it's not an old person's illness, it's a lot of older people who live with some type of memory loss. So we thought that was something that was worthwhile that would be able to support using the club as the vehicle to engage people. And then also with young women. We didn't do a lot with young women at all. So I was able to get some money through Sport England to engage with young women and maybe I've seen a real good programme at Derby County where they brought young women in and they were doing a lot of things like beauty courses and stuff like that. So we were able to engage women very, very similar to that. And it worked. We have a lot of young women now who come to the club for various things, particularly through the projects that have it and the community run, particularly through the health and well-being part of the charity. And then our programme started with about 12, I think it was 12 people initially, six participants and six people who were caring for them. Now we've got over 300 people a week who attend the Blue Base. You are living with memory loss and for people who are caring for them. So I think we've been able to use the club. I've always said that the club is the centre of the community. It's like a church, it's like a college or a school. We should be able to give things back. It doesn't have to be money, it doesn't have to be tickets for games. But I think Everton and the community, one of the things they do is give things back. And I think the club, over the years, it's grown massively the community programme over the last 10 years or so. And I think the club have embraced it and they've seen the value. I think a lot of Premier League clubs are not just Premier League football league clubs. They've seen the value of having a community programme. And sometimes that's really positive stuff that's coming from there when sometimes there's a negative stuff coming from the club. So I think it works. I'm not saying that all the negative stuff comes from Everton at the moment. It's quite positive at the moment going forward looking towards a new stadium. But I think the charity evident in the community is one of the most proactive and progressive in the Premier League. I'm going to Manchester United next week to show them or support them about how they set up a programme for people with dementia and Alzheimer's. And I've also been, you know, we've got some of the charity we've got. We've got the Form Players Foundation, which I'm heavily involved in as well. I mean, I've been to Brighton and Hall of Albion, something like that. I've been to two or three different clubs, you know, Fallham was another one. You know, looking at how they can set up a form players foundation and a lot of it's round health and wellbeing. You know, a lot of it, you know, our older players now, you know, our oldest players, Billy Bingham, who's 87 years of age. Hang on. You haven't, you literally haven't paused for a breath there. This is why I'm smiling. Unbelievable. How you can just reel it off. I think it's, you're talking about Everton leading, leading the way, isn't it? Which is what you're doing. You're passing us about it. So you spoke about Manchester United there, Brighton, Fallham. They're coming to us because they see us as a model of practice. And for us to be able to, for me, I think we should be using, you know, the football clubs far more than what we're doing. We're certainly doing that at Everton. But I think some of the others are seeing what we're doing and how, you know, how beneficial it is for the, you know, the clubs to be doing this and giving things back, you know. And I think I'm quite happy to go up and help Manchester United Liverpool. I mean, we had sadly had Tommy Smith, you know, and Tommy is obviously, it's been in the local and the national press about Tommy is living with dementia and all that. And it was great, I thought that at the time, you know, and he's a real Amphil legend. And we were able to, in his time of, you know, need, give him a bit of support, you know, and I think, you know, dementia and Alzheimer's doesn't just affect Evertonians, it affects Liverpoolians as well, you know. So it's great that we can open the doors of our club, you know, to, you know, people from over the road, you know. We've been a lot of them worried about coming to whoever, you know, and come with a Liverpool shirt, so that's fine, you know what I mean. And I think it's really good, you know, that we can, you know, we can reach out to people, you know, as a charity. And we've been able to do that, you know what I mean. So it's, I think it's really, you know, the charity's proactive. I think we, you know, Liverpool's a city of still, in certain areas, a massive deprivation, particularly around the two grounds, you know. And if we can support those people and give them an opportunity to, you know, to come in and use the club, you know, and go and say, you know, use, what was it, use football to get you something, you know what I mean. Don't let football use you, you know what I mean. So, you know, to get the benefits out of it, you know. And that, you know, when I've worked in the prisons as well, we've, you know, we've taken former players in the prisons and I do talks for them. And, you know, when you talk to, you look at the, your audience, you think, you know, they're not even really bothered really, you know what I mean. They want about four. But hopefully, if you can get to one person, say to them, you know, you let, don't let prison use you, you use the prison, you know, to get an education or whatever may be. And it's the same with football, you know what I mean. I suppose, I mean, it's not being the biggest change over the time you've been in post. This is how you're seeing football clubs and the communities coming together or the fact that you're almost teaching other clubs saying, listen, your community is really important and this is how you can get to people. Yeah, I think, you know, maybe an example, Millwall Football Club renowned for, you know, crowd trouble and probably still a little bit. But years and years ago, I met with Joe Royal and a guy used to be in charge of Manchester City's academy looking at setting stuff up and there was a guy from the Times there who'd actually produced this document about Millwall in the community and they had the biggest football hooligan, Millwall's biggest football hooligan, the size of a door with his arm around this old day coming out of a house and saying, well, this is actually what he does, you know what I mean, even though he fights on a Saturday. This is the other half of him, you know what I mean. That is a true thing, you know. So, you know, that's, for me, I've always felt that, you know, the club is essentially, you know, and, you know, we've been here 140 years. Liverpool 128 is it or something like that. They're two of the oldest businesses in the whole of the city. You'd have to go a long way to find businesses as old as that, you know. So, we should be able to give things back. You know, when I first came to Evan, I mean, I first watched Evan in 1959, but when I first came to watch, to wait for Evan about 12, 14 years ago, I used to think it was just about playing football on a Saturday, you know, we were still playing, the Premier League was here. But when I looked and I thought to myself, well, it's a bit more than that. You know, you've got the plaques on the wall where people are putting their loved ones to remember them on. You know, you've got ashes buried in the church and you've got them around the pitch. And you've got people, we had a couple of participants on, I think, our first or second course, who named the children, you know, like after Alan Ball and Howard, you know, the boss, Howard Kendall and I'm thinking to myself, this is more than just a football club. This is in the DNA or the culture of the city. You know, so we need to use that. And we are doing it at Evan, you know, I think, you know, they've realized that now, not just the club, but the value of having, you know, this community program, you know, I think other clubs as well. And then we can share our experiences and share our, you know, things that's done well. You know, when I went to Fulham, they were asking me about, you know, what have you found, you know, that doesn't work. So I was able to, you know, for me, that's your setting, your form of players foundation of a Fulham. What hasn't worked for us? What has worked? What might work for you and what might not? So I think that was really good. And they've set it up, Brighton have set theirs up. So I think it's good, you know what I mean? I mean, probably the players now, Joe says to me, the players, you know, probably don't, they're not going to need us in a couple of years, but they might not for, you know, for medical issues, but certainly for mental health, they will. You know, I've been, you know, with a couple of players, Michael Branch being one, you know, where Joe's a baxter up, being mentor in Joe's day since he came back to the club. You know, and I think, and now obviously, Joe's day has gone on so old and which is fantastic, both for the club and for Joe's day, you know what I mean? Because he's made a couple of wrong decisions in his life. Michael certainly made a wrong decision. You know, and, you know, they're both, Michael's coming back to the club now, he's got a post there. And I think it's really good that the club's been able to, you know, to embrace that, you know, people saying, oh, what you're working with him for, or what you're working with. But I'm a firm believer in me in that role or situation that everybody deserves, you know, another chance, you know what I mean? And, you know, thereby go for the grace of God, that could be me. You know what I mean? I think that I've been, you know, lucky when I was young, I had the right people mentor in me as such, you know, but I could have probably gone the wrong way as well, you know, and I think, you know, that the club's got the ability to do that, you know, and I don't think there's many clubs, you know, who would have done that, who would have given Joe's day a bit of a contract. And, you know, people said, what are you doing giving him this, that new? Do you know what? We all make mistakes in life, you know what I mean? And that's what I said to somebody, you know, where, somebody said, should we be helping a drug dealer? You know, and I went, well, have you ever made a mistake in your life? And they went, well, yeah. So I said, will you have made one? You know, when he made that one and it was the wrong one, but now, you know, he's changed his life around, you know, and been able to do that. And that's good. You know, we should be able to support that. And if the club's able to do that and got that, it's got the pulling power, you know what I mean? You know, people want to work with a badge, whether it be to get publicity on the TV, you know, the Premier League goes, we sell it all over the world now, you know, it's a multimillion, billion pound, you know, cash and income generator. And if we should be giving things back, you know what I mean? And, you know, some of the things that we're able to give back to the club doesn't cost a lot of money. And I think that, I mean, that's really sort of pertening with what we're seeing now in the country anyway, in terms of poverty, in terms of food banks, in terms of clothing banks, in terms of cuts, cuts, cuts, with all that ever seems to be particularly in the private areas. And I think for football clubs, you can reach out and do the work that you're doing. I've come from a social work background. I've seen it on the ground, seen poverty, seen kids going off food, seen no real access for people with mental health problems, and all the likes, particularly the biggest, like you're saying, dementia, that funding isn't there through social services. I feel it is wrong where the sixth richest economy in the world, and we can't do that. Food banks, I mean, what Dave Kelly and his colleagues have done, Liverpool and there, and set up this fancy, that's unbelievable what he's done, you know what I mean? And I went to and took them all, every time you take them because they went to a Newcastle thing where they all got together, and I took them up there, I thought it was great. And I think what they've done is there, when there's been a need and how we've been able to use the football club and Dave and his colleagues have used that. Both clubs together have used that and are able to support people, even though there should never be a food bank in this country. But sadly, that's the way things are at the moment, and as you say, before you got into this, you were a social worker, so you know all about that, you know what I mean? I think I saw something on, it was last year sometime, the back end of last year, it was a feature on the BBC about everything in the community, about the dimension, I think. It was really hard hitting, I think, for some people. Not that it was meant to be, but when you show people's stories, they can't remember who the people are, and I know someone in my family. They've been married for 60 years, and they can't remember who they are. That kind of thing, and a family member of mine. It's a terrible illness. Nan had gone to something that had never done, because she's got dementia, and it was really nice because we went there, and everyone was just there. With the likes of dementia, it's such a horrible thing to happen to people, to lose you. There's no cure for it, that's amazing. This is mad, it's blows mad. It really does make me just go out. When we first started, we were trying to convince the GPs, because the GPs would have a problem, not a problem, but a concern of diagnosing somebody. Obviously they don't do the complete diagnosis, they go to Mary's care, it takes two or three months. If you get diagnosed with cancer, you can have radiation treatment, chemotherapy, you've got medical trials, but with dementia there's no cure. They were very reluctant to go, because what do we do? Actually there's nothing much you can do. We were trying to push that it was really important that you've got an early diagnosis, and some people who come with us, they don't, what am I doing here? I haven't got that. It's awful. The big thing I was going to say hen, it's horrendous for the person who's got it, but I suppose when you're having something where you meet with a lot of people, the carers, it's really important to be able to speak to someone else who's in exactly the same boat, and that to me is the thing that makes you go, what an incredible thing that you're doing. Your project, we've lost, sadly, probably a dozen people over the last two years, and there are participants, obviously, and they've come to me and gone, oh no, you don't have to, you don't come, you still come. So we've enabled them to still, they're here just because, you've come here three years, but you probably need us more now than you did when your loved one was with us. We've got probably a dozen widows, or widowers who are, who still come, which is fantastic. Oh, without a doubt, they'll say to me, or colleagues, or parts, or Lee, on how much the project's meant to them, and being able to come in, and someone will say to the part, this is what they look forward to every week. They know that on Wednesday afternoon they're going to have it in the football club, Tuesday afternoon they're going to have it in the football club, which for me that's great, that's something that they look forward to. The other days they maybe can't be bothered, you know what I mean, but it's Wednesday, and let's go, we're going to have it, so it's good. I mean, it is incredible, it's something that I think every Evertonian should be incredibly proud of the way Evan in the community is now. It's most definitely the market leader. Oh, without, yeah, yeah. Projecting, and as you've just rightly pointed out your help, like Manchester United and other clubs. For me, I think we should be sharing models of good practice, we should be, I mean, it means that people, the PFA are involved now as well, they're going to give the clubs the resources, they're spoiling memories, but I mean, resources they've got, they're going to fund that, which is really, really good. I think the PFA have had a little bit of, I know Gordon and them, because I've spoke to them about that, they've had quite a bit of, you know, Jeff, Jeff's the only football that actually has actually been diagnosed with his death, with his death related to work-related illness, you know what I mean? And they are now, the PFA, are looking at, you know, supporting and looking at giving some money into research, football and that, you know, and I think there's got to be some correlation between probably heading the football years and years ago and dementia, you know? So, I mean, hopefully they'll find something, sadly, you know, for our, we've had probably 12 of our former footballers over the last four or five years who've either sadly passed away or are living with dementia. I mean, Billy Bingham run Saunders, you know, sadly there are two older players, you know, both of them are living with memory loss. So, you know, that we're able to try and support them as well, which, you know, I do that as well. I think that, I mean, the former players think it's fantastic because I think, you know, when you look at modern day footballers, they're in a different stratosphere to any of us. If you're a Premier League footballer, unless you don't know how to manage your money, the chances are, you're always going to be wealthy. A lot of the former players foundation is set up to give players new needs and stuffy play and help them and that way and hopefully give them a better quality of life. You know, if we can help in any way, shape or form in giving somebody, you know, a better quality of life, we don't give them money or anything, but we might help them towards them in partnership with the PFA. I mean, they obviously pay for half of the stuff that we do, you know, but I think if you can do that, I think in the football club again is able to do that and has a good reputation all over the country for doing that. It's great when clubs come to us and say, you know, can you help us do this? Can you show us how to do this? What's the best way to do that? I think that's good and I think, you know, that's a real good selling point for our club and what a club, you know, is a football club as a centre of the community has got the ability to do, you know. A lot of charities, you know, they don't have the power of this. People want to invest in the power of the bat. Doesn't matter where you are in the Premier League club, people want to work with Premier League football clubs because their brands are worldwide, you know, and I think, you know, I think it's really good that we're able to do that, you know. I think you mentioned off camera you're actually retiring this year, isn't that right? Do you confirm or deny it? No, I am definitely retiring, confirm and Denise asked me that and I said, yeah, I was, you know. I just think, you know, how long do you go on for? I'll be 66 in June. I'm going to go off to Spain to sunny a climate, you know, warmer weather, you know. And I think really, I don't know, I think sometimes you need, you know, give somebody else an opportunity, you know, they impact. We'll step up there, I'm sure, to do the role and we're bringing a couple of other people in on a part-time basis, you know, and the programme's there. They'll be fine, you know what I mean. I think they worry sometimes, particularly what's going to happen, but, you know, I keep saying you'll be fine, you know what I mean. And he's been brilliant, Pat. You just pass your knowledge on as much as you do. I've got a big event before that date. I've got an event this Friday. I mean, my two charities, I'm sure you saw the event in the community, obviously, and the Everton Former Players Foundation, which I'm heavily involved with both. So I've got a pie-and-chips event on Friday at the Blue Base. We've got Joe Royal, Derek Mountfield, and Pat Vandernau. And we've also got the FA Cup and the European Cup and the Cup, which they've all had a part in winning. It's either one or the other. You know, Pat won the FA Cup with Tottenham, but, you know, he won the European Cup and has a cup with Everton, so it's fantastic. Derek won both trophies, so it's great. And Joe was obviously our last manager to win a trophy. Hopefully he won't be the last, you know what I mean. Hopefully we will win one in the future. What time does that kick off? That starts at 7 o'clock. People can pay on the door. It's £25. They'll get a free James Cormann statistical football boot on all of Everton's, and I'm sure the players will sign it. We're hoping to have a couple of others. Tony Kay was going to come, but Tony's not too well at the moment, so he's not going to be able to come. We'll open Derek Temple, John Hares, John Bailey. There'll be quite a few there, Michael Branch. There'll be quite a few coming. So it'll be good, you know, and obviously the players will sign the boots for the Chaps and all that. We'll have a bit of a raffle, so you're going to have opportunities to do that. It should be a great event. I can listen to Joe's stories, even though we went to school together, he's a bit older than me, he's 70 this year. But if you listen to Joe, he's got so many tales to tell. He's like me. He doesn't need anybody to prompt him. You just give Joe the mic and off he goes. Some of his stories are absolutely fantastic. I'm not going to tell any of them here, but hopefully people will come along and enjoy it. So the Blue Base, which is in Salab Street and Screech, come along and see this new community resource that we've got in the community. It's the old St Francis de Sales Catholic Parochial Social Club. That's a bit of a mouthful. But, you know, it's now Everton, and Everton invested £600,000 in that building, and it was a derelict, depravated building, one of the most wonderful buildings in the local community. So it's fantastic that we're going to do that there. And then on the 10th of June, I'm 13th of June, I should say, got it wrong there, we're over in Caldy Golf Club. We've got a golf event there, and that's, I think, £100 per person. That includes a sausage butty or a bacon butty, whatever your choices, might throw an egg in with that. There's loads of golf, loads of prizes, loads of goodie bags, and then afterwards, we've got a two-course meal with at least 20 of our former players coming along to support me, and hopefully we'll raise up to raise £10,000 off the two events. I mean, I've got somebody to sponsor the golf tournament, which is great, and Chris Melier, who's sitting the Dixie Dean sponsored the Pineships event, which is fantastic, and Chris gives a lot back to the club, as well as a lot of our other corporate members do, and on a very quiet, I don't want any publicity, but I'm giving Chris a little bit, but he's a good friend of mine as well, and he's good. That'll be great, we've got an afternoon evening with the things, and then it'll be 30 times two weeks before I actually hang the old boots up, so I'm still going to be doing little bits, hopefully I'll be continuing to do a bit with the former players foundation, and also probably doing a little bit with Everton as well, looking at a bit of scouting for them, and that. There's literally a turn-up on Friday if you're interested in the blue-based stuff or put stuff on the side. There's a poster, I've got it on the thing, and hopefully you'll put it up or whatever. That all the information will be coming out for that, if he's the lady who's in charge of our fundraising, she's helping me a lot. A fantastic young lady, and that really works out. What I like about Karina is she's passionate, and I think to work in a charity, you've got to be passionate, and that's one of the things. You've got to know what you're doing as well, but you've got to be passionate about it, and I think that rubs off, and she's very passionate about what she does. It's great to have air on board, and she'll help me raise the money, and then I'm going to donate with all our split between the two charities, so hopefully we'll be able to give both of them £5,000 each, which hopefully will certainly go into good causes. Fantastic. Listen, get along on Friday if you can, your royal is incredible as a storyteller. His stories are amazing, and as Henry said, the last manager of Everton's, a winner trophy. He said, the FA Cup will be there, and the FA Cup, absolutely brilliant. A photo took with that. Side book, photo with two trophies, and a monitor. What more? Cheap ale. What more does your fly? £2.60 a pint? If you're at the game, you're paying £4.40 a pint, so it's... So there you go. Henry's give you everything you need. Do that, and if you're a golfer and you're interested in meeting and playing a nice round of golf. It's a beautiful course, looks over the day. 13 to June's got to be... At least it'll be a nice weather, but it should be great, you know what I mean? And you're helping out, she's fantastic course. Henry, thanks for coming. Thanks for having us. Good luck in your retirement. We're not retiring yet, but good luck in your retirement in the summer. Check it out. We'll have all the stuff on our socials as well about where and how you can get to be part of these and do your bit for everything in the community. See you later.
