Everton in the Community’s ’41 Goodison Road’ programme was recently recognised as ‘Organisation of the Year’ at the Howard League’s Community Awards.
The annual awards recognise successful community projects that reduce crime and transform lives. It also celebrates best practice in diversionary work and champion work in the community that challenges and changes people for the better whether it be with children, women, mental health programmes or restorative justice.
Open to statutory agencies and voluntary organisations that are developing diversionary schemes, the awards were presented at a national conference in London at the start of November where more than a dozen of the very best schemes in the country were recognised.
