On the pitch, we’re unlikely to be top of the league, but I can definitely imagine Evertonians topping the league of lifesavers. All you need do is register as a stem cell donor. It’s ridiculously easy, but vitally important 💙
The #TransferWindow opens today, and we’re asking you to squad up, sign up and save a life⚽ Lets give everyone an equal opportunity of a second chance of life, regardless of where you're from, or who you support. Get your mates together, and join today: bit.ly/3tvEyL5

For every five Children who are diagnosed w/ #cancer only 4 will survive. Sadly, the four that do survive are likely to have serious health issues due to the toxic treatments they received.

When I first started the Employment Advisory Boards I never dreamt it would make such an impact. Well done to all the employers and prisons who have embraced the Boards! Prison 'job centres' and business link-ups help boost ex-offender employment. news.sky.com/story/prison-jo…
