In today's show, we chat with retired Ipswich pro, Simon Milton.  Simon spent 11 years playing for the club before he transitioned into management, still with Ipswich. But today's story isn’t about his time there. It’s about his efforts in Ghana and why he needs your help now. Take a listen as Simon explains how he became involved in an incredible charity that is using football as a means to keep kids in school and keep them fed. 

This is no thinly veiled talent spotting mission for English football clubs, although Simon says there is a fair bit of talent there. Simon has a firm rule: if you don’t attend school, you cant come to practice. Simon’s story is one of hope and upliftment as he uses his skills both on the pitch and in the boardroom to build children’s lives in Ghana.

But he can't do it alone. The Futurestars Scholarship program is looking for volunteers to help coach the kids. The trip is surprisingly affordable and will not only change the kids lives, it will change yours too. Take a listen.
