The NSPCC and Together for Childhood Grimsby will host an evening of conversation with award-winning actor Thomas Turgoose at Grimsby Town Football Club’s home ground.
Known for his standout role in Shane Meadows’ This Is England, Thomas will take part in a Q&A at Blundell Park on Friday, August 2, where an audience will also enjoy live music from local acts and a meal from Oliver Bros Fish Merchants of Grimsby.
Thomas will offer an intimate look at his illustrious career, his deep-rooted love for his home town of Grimsby, its football team, and his experiences growing up in East Marsh. Proceeds of the evening will go to the NSPCC, with a portion also going to the Shalom Youth Centre in the town.
Thomas said: “I am thrilled to be part of this fantastic evening in aid of the NSPCC. Growing up as a child actor, my town was always there for me when I needed support the most.
“I look forward to sharing my story and raising much-needed funds for this incredible charity that continues to help so many children across North East Lincolnshire. I’m also thrilled that some of the proceeds will be going to Shalom Youth Centre in Grimsby, a place very close to my heart and somewhere I used to frequent a lot when I was growing up in the area.”
As well as the Q&A and entertainment, guests can also enter a raffle with prizes including the latest Umbro Grimsby home and away tops, VIP tickets to the Live by The Yard Festival in Hull, and Rock N Roll Circus in Sheffield which is headlined by Richard Hawley, Becky Hill and Milburn and signed This is England merchandise.
Lisa Smith, from Together for Childhood Grimsby, said: “This event is a testament to the community spirit of Grimsby. Thomas’s involvement highlights the local talent and the importance of supporting the NSPCC’s work in ensuring every child grows up safe and loved.”
Kristine Green, the Community Projects Manager of Grimsby Town Foundation said: “We are honoured to host this special evening at Blundell Park as part of the on-going relationship between the Club and the NSPCC.
“It’s an excellent opportunity to unite our community for a worthy cause. Thomas Turgoose’s story is inspiring, and we’re proud to support the NSPCC in their mission.”
