The Day that Everton's Naismith came to Dinner (or paid for and served it!) at The Whitechapel Centre

It has been a very busy week at The Whitechapel's Enablement Centre in Everton, we were on the Telly!!

In fact, we were on the TV (the news primarily) and in various papers, including the city's own Liverpool Echo.

Firstly Channel 4 news popped in and interviewed some of our regular attendees, staff, volunteers, even our fabulous CEO, David Carter.

Following that, and perhaps a little more exciting for those who use our services, Everton striker Steven Naismith held a press conference in our Enablement Centre!!



The Press Conference!!

Lots of press were there to see Steven serving dinner to Joe and John, regular attenders of our daily enablement sessions.


Steven serving Joe and John their dinner, nice to be waited on!


The day was a huge success, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all, even those who claimed to be camera shy to begin with!
All the staff loved the experience, even if it wasn't a little bit fraught at times, particularly for rainy day in Liverpool, always a busy time for us.

MOVE manager Pauline managed to get a photo with Steven as her sons are both devout Evertonians!


Pauline and Steven.



We would like to send a big thank you to all who helped to organised the day, and especially to those who aid us in showing the great work that The Whitechapel carry out.
