Harry Kane is too busy breaking records for Bayern Munich to know it but the England captain’s example is unwittingly helping hundreds of young Londoners stay in school and pass exams, thus securing them a better future.
The former Spurs star is used by Football Beyond Borders (FBB) — one of the charities being funded by a £50,000 grant from our Winter Survival Appeal in partnership with Comic Relief — as a role model in their work utilising the beautiful game to help vulnerable children. From their London base in Brixton, they go into schools and work with children who are the most disengaged to support them in achieving their GCSEs.
