A charity football match will be taking place in Yorks LNER community stadium next month with many stars of showbiz competing to raise money for good causes.

The charity match kicks off on Sunday 24th September at 3pm.

Some of the stars who will be competing include XFactor’s James Arthur, TOWIE’s Dan Osbourne, Love Island stars Zac Ashford, Josh Brocklebank, Tom Clare and Casey O’Gorman, as well as Youtubers Cal the dragon and Man like haks. 

The match will be raising money for:

OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumor unit which offers support and care for children facing brain tumours and their families, to raise awareness of children’s brain tumours and to fund new research to drive down diagnosis time, increase survival rate and improve children’s quality of life during and after treatment.

It was set up in memory of Oscar Hughes from York who died aged nine of a brain tumour.

The Bradley Lowery Foundation which was established in August 2017 after six year old Bradley Lowery lost his fight to neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer.

It supports families who are fundraising for treatment or equipment, which is not readily available or covered by the NHS. This includes all illnesses and conditions.
