Football For Change, the charity founded by Jamie Carragher, Conor Coady and Trent Alexander-Arnold, will hold its annual fundraising gala on Saturday, November 14 at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena. The event brings together names from entertainment, music and football for an evening dedicated to creating brighter futures for young people across the UK.
The charity was established to fight child poverty and create opportunities for young people living in some of the UK's most disadvantaged communities. This year's gala will feature headline live performances from musicians Gabrielle and Tom Grennan, alongside exclusive football Q&As and a host of special football guests.
Carragher on the power of football
Former Liverpool FC star and co-founder Jamie Carragher said: "Football has the power to inspire and bring people together, but it also has the ability to create real change."
He added: "Every year we're overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who supports Football For Change, and this year's gala promises to be our biggest yet."
Funds for grassroots organisations
Carragher said the funds raised will help grassroots organisations continue their work, giving young people opportunities they may never otherwise have had.
The gala takes place one day after this report, on November 14, at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.
