Global musicians supporting charity launched by Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold

Vernon Kay will come together with musicians Melanie C and Emeli Sande later this year in a bid to raise money for 'Football For Change' - a charity supporting young members of society living in poverty.

Alexander-Arnold launched the social mobility initiative in 2020 and has since been backed by Wolves defender and ex- Liverpool Academy star Conor Coady, alongside Jamie Carragher. Football For Change supports young people by funding life-changing projects in education, employment and sport for people facing social and economic barriers when trying to reach their full potential.

Steven Gerrard is another individual supporting this campaign, alongside the likes of Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin plus Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.

Football For Change are attempting to raise further funds to support their work within the community by hosting an exciting event in Manchester on September 22, which will see Sande and Spice Girl Mel C performing in front of a live audience and Kay overseeing proceedings. A Q&A will also take place with two football figures.

Explaining her decision to support Football For Change by agreeing to sing in September, Sande said: “Football For Change is an incredible initiative and so when I was asked to be part of this special event I immediately said yes. I am looking forward to performing and giving my support to the football players involved including Trent Alexander Arnold and Jamie Carragher. It is a really worthwhile cause and I am proud to be involved."

For tickets and enquiries about securing a table at the event, which takes place at the Emirates Old Trafford, please contact info@footballforchange.org.uk or visit www.footballforchange.org.uk .
