Manager David Moyes and members of Everton's first-team squad spent an afternoon at the Everton in the Community Showcase at Finch Farm last week, discovering more about the work of the club's official charity.

Everton In The Community helps 36,000 people every year across Merseyside, from babies to pensioners, with more than 60 life-changing programmes.

The team were involved with games like backgammon, wheelbarrow races and wellbeing obstacle courses with those who benefit from the charity.

Club captain Seamus Coleman told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I'm very proud of it and being part of Everton for so long. It started off quite small and it's got bigger and bigger every year.

"I'm not just saying it, it's humbling to be involved in these things and see the impact you can have on these people as a player.

"The volunteers are incredible and it has been proven that Everton In The Community has saved lives. I've heard people come to me and tell me and it's powerful.

"It's something we are and should be very proud of."
