Louis Tomlinson has donated a piece of sentimental fabric to community football club Grenfell Athletic’s ‘Fabric of the Community’ project.

The club are creating a kit comprised of cuts of fabric from donated items of clothing that survived the Grenfell fire and celebrities are also donating fabric too.

The emotionally charged football shirt drops on Thursday and features a perimeter area surrounding the club emblem reserved for a bespoke cut of fabric cut from donated items of clothing, including fabrics that survived the Grenfell fire.

In honour of everyone that lost their homes as a result of the devastating fire in June 2017, Louis, 32, has donated his beloved Doncaster Rovers FC shirt.

He said: ‘Wherever I am in the world and I have my Doncaster Rovers FC shirt with me, it reminds me of home.

‘When I am touring and I see a member of the audience wearing one, I get a real feeling of home, no matter where I am.’

Rupert Taylor, founder of Grenfell Athletic, said: ‘Our club was born out of a desire to heal and bring our community ever closer through the power of football.

‘We’re so thankful for every person who donated their fabrics and bravely shared their stories, and we hope the project offers an additional avenue for healing and a platform for showing how inspirational our community truly is.

‘The hearts and souls of the people of Grenfell are woven into Grenfell Athletic’s DNA, and now they’ll be woven into the club’s shirts, too.’

The news of Liam’s heartwarming donation comes just hours after he attended the funeral of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.

The singer attended Liam’s funeral at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire on Wednesday where he was reunited with Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik.

It was the first time the group were seen in public together in nine years as they paid respects to their ‘brother’ Liam, who he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina last month.

The four singers arrived separately at the church as they joined friends and family of the 31-year-old in a poignant final send off.

Girls Aloud member Cheryl Tweedy, who is the mother of Payne’s seven-year-old son Bear, was also in attendance along with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, 25, and One Direction creator Simon Cowell.
