A charity football team made up of ex-professional players wants to help end homelessness in Merseyside - but wish they did not need to.
North West Community Stars Football Club (NWCSFC) was set up earlier this year to play charity matches across the region to help raise money for local charities. On July 23, the club will travel to Liverpool to take on Liverpool Homeless FC - a football club doing amazing work to help some of the city's most vulnerable.
Dan Ferguson, founder member and the chairman of NWCSFC, told the ECHO: "I have organised football matches for years. I noticed on social media that more and more people were struggling with the cost of living. I wanted to help.
