Liverpool's Andrew Robertson helps hundreds of children in his home city

Liverpool and Scotland defender Andrew Robertson is helping to change the lives of hundreds of children through his charity, AR26.

The Glasgow-born left back will captain his country as they take on Ukraine at Hampden Park tonight, hoping that his on-field heroics help his Scotland side through to Sunday's World Cup play-off final against Wales. But it's Robertson's work off the pitch that is making a real difference to families in need.

The 28-year-old set up AR26 in 2020, with the intention of improving children's physical and mental fitness and providing life-changing experiences to vulnerable young people. And now online platform ClassForKids is launching a huge fundraising campaign to support AR26 in their quest to bring free football to 1,000 children a week by 2023.
