As the holidays approach, thousands of local people will face challenges hidden behind closed doors.

From older adults experiencing loneliness, to families unable to heat their homes to children who may wake up on Christmas Day without a single present.

Mental health pressures also rise sharply at this time of year, with many people feeling increased isolation and strain.

Through its Christmas campaign, Everton in the Community will highlight these issues and show how community support can make a meaningful difference.

The official charity of Everton Football Club is asking supporters to back its vital work by giving what they can to ensure no one is left behind this Christmas.
