Singer-songwriter Sam Fender is to put his support of a homeless charity based in his hometown of North Shields on an official footing.
The double Brit award-winner who will be playing at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on April 5 and 6, as part of his current UK tour, has been a high profile supporter of North East Homeless in recent years. Now the 27-year-old who burst onto the national music scene four years ago - being named by BBC Sounds as an ‘artist to watch’ for 2018 - has agreed to become patron of the charity.
The acclaimed musician says he's delighted to be on board. He said: “It’s an honour to help a charity that’s so close to my heart. Homelessness is a massive problem. North East Homeless helps so many people to turn their lives around, families shouldn’t be struggling through no fault of their own.”
