Gabby travels to Newcastle to speak to Dan Burn
(21:54), captain of the women's team, Amber-Keegan
Stobbs (9:21), and club icon, Shola
Ameobi (02:14). All three are involved in the Newcastle
United Foundation, which helps almost 70,000 people across the
North East each year.

Burn shares how he uses his time away from the pitch to help his
local community. He talks about Eddie Howe and the England job,
and how he might not have coped with the pressure of being a
local hero if he'd started his senior career at Newcastle.

Ameobi tells us how the Foundation helped him go from a
5-year-old who arrived in Newcastle from Nigeria, unable to speak
English, to a Premier League player with almost 400 appearances
for the club.

Plus, Stobbs shares her mental health journey and talks about the
rapid rise of the women's team, record crowds of almost 30,000 in
the fourth tier, and back-to-back promotions into the
Championship.
