Our health promotion partners include Premier league football team Everton and we became a key client of Everton in the Community programme which provides multi-skilled workshops on the wards at Alder Hey.
The programme encourages me to take part in physical activity; it gives me the chance to get certificates which makes me work harder as I get a sense of achievement. The workshop gives me variety in my day and a chance to see and talk to new people, which I really love. It is exciting and because of this, It gives me something to look forward to. But most of all it makes me feel valued by people outside my family and carers and it is FUN!. Jessica
Through our work with The Everton Foundation we won a Special Recognition Award from Liverpool Primary Care Trust. We were also shortlisted for the Echo Pride of Merseyside Awards 2010.
