Melanie C will take to the stage at a charity gala in Manchester this September, alongside Emeli Sandé and Vernon Kay as part of an initiative to help young people hit by poverty.
Football For Change was launched by Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and his England teammate Conor Coady last year, with £250,000 raised at its inaugural fundraising gala in Liverpool. The initiative will distribute grants to organisations supporting young people in the most deprived areas of the country, focusing on education, employment and training.
This year’s event will take place at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on September 22, with TV favourite Vernon Kay on hosting duties, while Mel C and Emeli Sandé take to the stage. A major global icon is also set to headline the event, with more details to be announced next month.
