Everton in the Community is one of the UK's top sporting charities, offering more than 60 programmes covering a range of social issues including health, employability, anti-social behaviour, crime, education, dementia, poverty, youth engagement, youth justice and disability.

In 2023, a purpose-built mental health and wellbeing hub, The People's Place was established as part of the charity's work. Since then, for nine months of the year, two trainee clinical psychologists from Lancaster University have been based there. Their work has involved working with individual service users, running groups, developing materials and bringing a psychological perspective to the broader work of the organisation.

The psychologist funded by this programme will work alongside the trainees, helping to run groups, to support other programmes by bringing a psychological perspective and to develop materials for patients, and contributing to service evaluation and audit.
