 Welcome to Toffy TV, we are here at the People's Hub at Everton and I am speaking to Shantel from Everton in the community. Shantel, tell us about Everton in the community. Way to start, we do so much here in the community so we're currently running roughly around 40 projects and all the projects that we've run are just helping to make a difference in and around good to support. So we work with all kinds of people, everyone is welcome through the Hub doors. So we've got disability programmes, we have girls programmes specifically, we have over 50 programmes. Everything we run is to help where we're based, the community, the blue mile, that's who we are here at the Hub. Fantastic, this is a lovely building of people so this is open on a match day as well? It is yet to on a match day, we get all the fans in, you can have a brew in the cafe, you just have a little chat before the match get themselves hyped up, see what they think the results are going to be and then head over to Goodson Park, it's brilliant, the atmosphere is amazing. Awesome, and what projects have you got coming up then, what are on the agenda at the moment? So currently we've got a few big fundraisers on the way so we've on the 12th of October, we've got the Snowdonia zip slide and I believe you're taking part in that as well. We'll be more later on that. So we've got that haven't we? We've got the Goodson Sleep Out which is the 16th and 17th of November and that is probably one of the best events I've took part in here in Goodson Park. I've done my first one last year, we all camped out under the stars, heard some stories from the past, from the future and just about what we want everything to be and it's just a brilliant night and then in November I'm personally taking on my own challenge for everything in the community and I'm going to be undertaking a five day trek of the Sahara Desert. Five day trek of the Sahara? Yeah. I hope you've got people with you, not on your own now. No I'm not on my own, thank God. Just bring yourself the personal challenge, you know, getting a bit worried for you there. Just on the Goodson Sleep Out obviously we've seen that's been going for a few years and it's well supported by David Underworth and the under 23 lads. Can people get involved in that? Yeah, anyone can get involved. We don't say no to anyone, we want everyone to get involved. It's a family thing, that's what we are here at Everton and Community. We're a big family. So if you do want to get involved, pop into the hub of your local or just go on the website, there's a lot of information there. You can sign up online and then we'll send you all the details and support you along the way with your fundraising. And what about for your fundraising, your Sahara trek? How can people back here for that? If anyone does want to back me for my Sahara desert trek, the link is on the club's Twitter and the ITC's Twitter. But if you just go on Twitter and type in, on Just Given and type in, try and tell Dave Sahara desert trek, you'll find it better. I'll be able to find it better. Obviously there's a community thing. What can Evertonians do to support this? Cos obviously, like you've just said, it's helping under the privileged people or it's helping projects around the local area. What can we as fans do to back it? As fans, just by coming into the hub, see what we've got going on and just supporting what we're doing to get involved in all the events. We have mass scale events like The Goods and Sleepouts and The Zip Slide, which will be upcoming next year. But we've also got little things that we have going on even down to like little coffee mornings here at the hub. Just getting involved and just seeing what we're doing, getting it out on Twitter and social media and the birthday batches is something we run as well. So for any of you who've got young children that have got birthdays coming up, here in the hub we do run a birthday batch which gives them a two-hour session. They have a coach on the croiff. We do get them present off the players. So it is like a unique experience for the children as well. Fantastic and there's also mascot packages. Is that right? There's just a couple of packages available. Yeah, so in this season, we've got a few mascot packages coming up so that basically gives your child a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a feel of what we are, get out on the pitch with the players. It's an unbelievable experience. Again, more information's on our website and on Twitter and Facebook as well. Fantastic. There seems to be lots of stuff to get involved in there and have your special part of Everton Football Club. One other thing I want to say is it's not just for Evertonians. I think people get caught up sometimes in everything in the community. It's just for Evertonians, but it's helping everyone. Anyone walks through these doors and when you talk to people about what it is we actually do, whether they're red or blue, no matter who they support, they still want to get involved and touch on and heart warm and what we actually do, they want to get involved and help make that difference and that's what makes your job really hot so worthwhile when you see other people getting involved. Can I ask you, is there opportunities for people to volunteer and stuff within it because I know this is especially interested in getting involved and things like that. Is there an opportunity for supporters or for people who just want to get involved? Of course. We are always looking for volunteers because every one of our events doesn't happen without our volunteers because obviously we can't run it ourselves. So again, if you are wanting to volunteer, get yourself on the website, fill out that application form and come and help us because we need all the help we can get and you'll have a ball. It'll be brilliant. There you go. What better way to finish than that? What a fantastic ad for Everton in the community. It's awesome if you're blue when you come into the game, popping the people's hope, have a cup of tea before the match if you don't want anything stronger. Or have a cup of tea then go and get something stronger. This is open support. This is best you can. All the links will be up. We'll put the links in the description below the video as well to support Chantel as she goes on a holiday. She walks in the desert and not quite a holiday. Zikwires in Wales keep looking for some information on that. Obviously the good isn't sleep out which Michelle from Perth might be doing as well, I believe. So get involved and put something back into this fantastic charity by getting involved and by down-hating or backing fundraising events. And also if you've got kids and you want a party, drive at Onions, go and play on the cricket. Awesome. Give them a great day. Thanks for watching. Thanks for Chantel for speaking to us. See you later on to Happy TV.
