Robbie gives it sum more
Robbie Williams has donated another £1.5m to Give it Sum, a charity which helps vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in his home town. Set up by Robbie Williams and Comic Relief in June 2000, Give it Sum helps people with problems in their lives in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire. While currently living in LA, Robbie has never wholly forgotten his roots and this latest donation means he has donated £3m to his hometown charity in total. He managed to raise funds for the charity by selling career memorabilia, such as platinum discs and hand-written lyrics. The lyrics he penned for his number one hit, Angels, brought in £27,000 alone.
The 33-year-old pop star said: “I’m glad the little help I give can raise the profile of things like this. I want to be more active in and around Stoke-on-Trent – the place I love and where I’ll eventually return to. “Community groups who have an income of less than £150,000 a year can apply for grants to help fund projects for up to two years. In the past, grants have helped to fund self-help groups working to improve their local communities, including those providing support to young people with drug and alcohol problems, the homeless and people from ethnic minorities.
