Gareth Southgate has revealed he 'really wanted to help' after Newcastle United assistant Graeme Jones asked the England boss for his support for an event in aid of St Oswald's Hospice.
Jones is an official charity ambassador for St Oswald’s, who cared for the Newcastle number two's mother, Rita, when she received end-of-life care on the inpatient unit 30 years ago. As part of his role with the charity, Jones has helped plan a sportsman's dinner with wife Debbie to celebrate the work of St Oswald's, which will take place at the Hilton in Gateshead on February 16, 2023.
Southgate will be a special guest on the night, after previously working with Jones when England reached the final of Euro 2020, and the Three Lions manager will take part in a live Q&A on stage with host Justin Lockwood.
