A star-studded football match has been taking place today in aid of Scoliosis Association UK (SAUK)

The fixture, which has been held at Mossley AFC's Seel Park, has been contested between a string of celebrities and charity fundraisers.

It’s been a real family occasion, with various forms of entertainment, food and refreshments on offer throughout the afternoon.

We spoke to Jon Adams, owner of Jon's Charity Raffles Page, who raised over £51,000 between March-December 2021, about the reasons behind today's nominated charity.
