Raheem Sterling follow in Rashford’s footsteps as he launches a charity foundation to help disadvantaged youngsters

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling is set to launch a foundation for the sole purpose of helping disadvantaged young people. The foundation will also provide university scholarships and work placements.

The 25-year-old believes the organisation would focus on social mobility as he believes he can create something “humongous” for the people that would be getting help from the organisation.

Also, those supported by Marcus Rashford and his food poverty activism would also get backing from the England international’s charitable body.

Sterling recently questioned the will of social media companies in tackling the amount of hateful messages footballers received while speaking out about the issue of online abuse.

Speaking to the Sunday Times magazine, Sterling says: “That’s me finished with the ‘what can happen, what should happen’. Now I’m trying to put into place stuff I can do myself.

Stuff to give young people in the same circumstances I was in another shot. If there is a university they want to go to, football equipment they need, other things. I want to be a helping hand.

I’m not really fussed about having this million and that million. What will make me happy is seeing I am able to help. Even if it’s five people, even if it’s one, at least I have helped someone come out of their bubble and experienced that there is something better to England.”

The Sunday Times also reported that the finer details of the foundation is still being worked on by the footballer, but believes his contribution was likely to be seven figures. Sterling has also asked his club and his main sponsors to match his financial commitment.

He says: “It comes down to, OK, I come from northwest London, I move out of my area – what good is it if I take all I have made in life, my success and just build a big house somewhere? I’m happy, cool, but that’s not who I am.
