"Having Jude on our website and on social media makes a huge difference to us.

"He's a really nice guy, I've only met him a couple of times but they are all such a lovely family.

"His father, Mark, works with my daughter and she was talking to him about the charity.

"Mark mentioned it to Jude and he showed no hesitation wanting to come on board.

"They want Jude to be known for what he does off the pitch as well as on it."

"He's so kind and caring. I can't speak highly enough of him."

Bellingham made a £25m move from boyhood and then Championship club Birmingham City to Borussia Dortmund in July 2020, and has put up impressive performances in his first season in Germany, becoming the club’s youngest Bundesliga and Champions League goalscorer.

In November 2020, England head coach Gareth Southgate handed Bellingham his first senior cap for the national team in thier Wembley friendly against Republic of Ireland . He became the Three Lion’s third-youngest player ever.

He has so far made over 40 appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring 4 goals and has been targetted with a move back to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Chelsea showing strong interest in the young lad, but the BlackYellow side insist that he is "untouchable" and won't consider any deal to sell this summer.
