Everton's All Together Now Campaign To Be Celebrated At Home Double-Header

The equity, diversity and inclusion efforts of Everton and Everton in the Community will be celebrated this weekend, with our Men’s and Women’s home matches to be dedicated to raising awareness of the All Together Now campaign.

Supporters attending Friday night’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Brighton and Hove Albion (KO 7pm) and Monday’s Premier League visit of Leeds United (KO 8pm) will see a host of activity spotlighting the initiative, which is now in its eighth year.

Created in 2018, All Together Now increases awareness of the work done by Everton and its official charity to champion equity and diversity, while also having the goal of tackling discrimination and hate in all its forms.

Over the past 12 months, Everton's All Together Now commitment has seen Seamus Coleman become a patron of the Everton Disabled Supporters' Association (EDSA) and surprise members during a familiarisation tour of the Club's new home, Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The stadium itself, designed with inclusivity in mind, opened in August offering more than 270 wheelchair bays, 670 easy-access and amenity seats, a sensory box, faith rooms and quiet rooms. It is one of the only stadia in the Premier League to offer both British Sign Language interpretation and Audio Descriptive Commentary on matchdays.

Before departing Everton last summer, midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure joined Women’s team striker Toni Payne to take part in a Show Racism the Red Card session aimed at educating school children about the impact of online racist abuse.

That followed a UEFA FootbALL award being bestowed on the Blues in recognition of a statement issued jointly with Liverpool Football Club condemning racist abuse directed at Doucoure following a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

More recently, Jack Grealish was named as the latest recipient of Kick It Out's Lord Ouseley Award for his efforts to raise awareness of disabilities, while the late, great Kevin Campbell was one of four Everton representatives added to the celebratory Football Black List for 2025. In June, Everton and Everton in the Community staff joined in Liverpool's Pride march for the fourth successive year, while, alongside other organisations, the Club increased its support of the event, ensuring it could go ahead.

A talking bench, in memory of former captain Gary Speed, was dedicated at Hill Dickinson Stadium in November, giving Everton in the Community staff a base from which they now offer mental health advice and support at every home fixture.

And, already a Principal Partner of the Living Wage Foundation, the Club, in August, became the first in the Premier League to commit to a Living Pension for all its employees.

Supporters attending this weekend’s matches will learn more about these successes, and other actions driven by Everton's All Together Now commitment, through video content and in the matchday programme, while All Together Now flags will be handed out to young Blues at Goodison Park and on the Budweiser Plaza and in Hill Dickinson Stadium’s Family Stand.

Representatives from each of Everton in the Community's 12 disability teams will be welcomed on to the pitch at half-time of the Leeds fixture, while members from EDSA and Everton in the Community will take part in the regular Higher or Lower and Hit The Bar challenges.

Ben Osu, Everton’s Head of Equity and Diversity, said: “Our aim is, and always will be, to ensure that across Everton and Everton in the Community, we create spaces where people feel respected, celebrated and empowered, regardless of their identity or background, and to foster environments where people feel welcome and that they belong. That is All Together Now's most important message.

“This weekend we will celebrate all that the campaign has achieved since 2018 but also remember that there is always more we can do to ensure football is a game everyone can enjoy.”

As part of the celebration, representatives from partner organisations including Mersey Marauders FC, Roots and Pride, and Age Concern Liverpool & Sefton will be guests of the Club for the visit of Leeds.

Look out for all the above and more if you're heading to Goodison Park and Hill Dickinson Stadium this weekend. To read more about All Together Now and its values of Respect, Celebrate and Empower, visit evertonfc.com/alltogethernow.
