The charity group Trussell Trust paid tribute to the star following on from his tragic death yesterday, Wednesday 16 October.

Liam donated to the charity trust in 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic to support over 100 food banks, including those in Sheffield.

Trussell’s chief executive, Emma Revie, said: “We are extremely saddened by the news of Liam Payne’s death.

“Over the last four years, Liam was a generous supporter of Trussell and our community of food banks, not only funding the provision of more than 360,000 meals during Covid but also often joining us in calling for the solutions required to end the need for emergency food.

“We greatly appreciate the compassion and kindness he always showed to people facing hunger and hardship. His death is a very tragic loss, and our thoughts are with his loved ones.”

At the time of the donation the pop star said: “It’s not right that anyone in our country is unable to afford food. 

“Food banks do incredible work to help the people most in need of support.”
