I have seen first hand the extraordinary reach and impact the Foundation has across the region, engaging and inspiring thousands of people each year through education, employability and community programmes.The football club brought so much joy last year, winning a trophy after such a long time and it reminded us all what it feels like to believe, to keep believing and to win. I want to support the Foundation, so more people can have that same chance to first find belief and then eventually win in their daily personal battles too, using the power of football as a force for good far beyond the pitch.?
