Premier League fans are putting rivalries aside to tackle food poverty in England

Sometimes we just need to put our rivalries aside for the greater good of mankind. Love this story and how opposing teams put aside their loyalty to their teams and instead generated that energy to help all people regardless of what team they support.

Research by the food charity Sustain has found that over 5 million people in the UK (population: 65 million) struggle to get enough to eat. Another charity, the Trussell Trust, has recorded an increase of 123% in the use of food banks over the past five years. These rising numbers are bringing football fans together to help those in need, regardless of affiliations and rivalries.
