Hollyoaks stars line up for Leonard Cheshire football match

The star-studded cast of Hollyoaks will be playing in a fundraising football match in Edinburgh on Saturday 3rd November to support disability charity Leonard Cheshire.
The match will see the cast of the Channel 4 hit series take on a select team of Heriot Watt University students to raise funds to support people with disabilities in Edinburgh.

Hollyoaks’ longest serving actor, Nick Pickard, who plays Tony in the leading soap, urged fans to get involved and support the match.

Nick said: “The cast are really looking forward to coming to the Scottish capital for this brilliant fundraiser against the Heriot Watt select team. The match should be great fun and will support a really good cause.

“Leonard Cheshire do amazing work to support people with disabilities in Edinburgh so I’d urge everyone to snap up tickets and come and help us support this fantastic charity!”

Michael Jamieson, organiser of the event and Leonard Cheshire’s Fundraising Manager, said: “We are delighted that the star-studded cast of Hollyoaks are getting their boots on to support Leonard Cheshire.

“The match promises to be a fantastic event and I’d urge everyone to get their tickets as soon as possible. Not only will fans get the chance to meet their favourite soap stars, but they’ll also be helping to support services for people with disabilities in Edinburgh.”
