The game is to take place on Sunday at Airbus Broughton.
Welsh police officers are to swap their uniforms for sports gear as they take on Hollyoaks cast members in a charity football match to show a “positive side” to policing.
Matthew James Bailey, Sgt Dave Smith, Pc James Moult, Pc Mark Hughes and Oscar CurtisSpeaking to the PA news agency about how the event happened, Sgt Dave Smith – who is on the team – said he first reached out to Nick Pickard, who plays Tony Hutchinson in the Channel 4 show, and things developed from there.
“The majority of the male cast from Hollyoaks will be playing, like Jamie Lomas who plays Warren and Owen Warner who plays Romeo Nightingale – they’re all onboard and looking forward to it.”Money raised is to go towards the Blue Light Card Foundation, which funds projects to support the mental wellbeing of blue light staff including the police, ambulance services, hospital staff and the armed services.
He said the reason Wrexham Police FC was set up in January 2022 was to “show that behind our uniform, we are just like anyone else”.
