For the second year, Heart in Wiltshire have signed up two celebrity football teams to compete at the Country Ground Swindon on Friday 19th May 2017.

The two star studded teams will go head to head to help raise money for Global’s Make Some Noise, supported by Tree Nightclub and Swindon Wildcats, tickets are from £7.00.

Heart Breakfast presenters Ben and Mel are recruiting their celebrity teams, including Model and footballer Calum Best, Soap-stars Dean Gaffney and Jake Wood along with TV celebs Stevi Ritchie, Jamie O’Hara, Dan Osborne, Wayne Bridge and Austin Armacost.

Other celebrates attending are: Jimmy Constable, Jay James, Che Chesterman, Liam Gatsby, Aaron Sidwell, Max Morley, James Hill, Nev Wilshire, MC Harvey, Jeff Brazier, Dean Edwards, Tubes, Franky Fryer, Rocket, Terry Alderton, Gav Ramjaum, Matt Lapinskas and Tony Discipline.

The game will be hosted by Heart Breakfast Presenters Ben and Mel.

Ben said: “We had so much fun last year we are so pleased to bring it back, game promises to be a celebrity riot so grab your selfie stick as showbiz meets football.”

Mel said: “Make Some Noise is truly amazing, our listeners have made a huge difference to the lives of young children.”

Make Some Noise gives a voice to more small charities and projects across Wiltshire and the UK that struggle to raise awareness, this April awarding Swindon Down’s Syndrome group £41,300 to provide quality speech therapy for the next two years.

Global, the media & entertainment group, created Global’s Make Some Noise in 2014 to offer a voice and a lifeline to small charities and projects that are doing inspiring work to help disadvantaged youngsters but are struggling to be heard.

Global unites its brands including Heart, Capital, LBC, Classic FM, Smooth, Radio X, Capital XTRA and Gold, to raise money and awareness for the projects it supports by giving them a platform to tell their stories to a weekly audience of 30 million.

Grants are awarded to projects across the UK that help disadvantaged youngsters living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity.

In its first three years, Global’s Make Some Noise has raised nearly nearly £6 million and raised awareness for 135 incredible charities and projects around the UK.

Standard tickets for the celebrity football are just £7 with ‘Match, Eat ‘n’ Greet’ tickets at £35.

Kick-off is at 7:30pm with gates opening an hour before at 6:30pm.
