Leicester City pledges £1m to charity's neonatal appeal

The chairman of Leicester City has pledged to donate £1m to a hospital charity's neonatal appeal.

The pledge, by Khun Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha to Leicester Hospitals Charity, was announced at the club's end of season awards on Monday.

The charity said it was another "generous gift" from the club.

In 2016, the chairman's father Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha - who died in a helicopter crash - gifted £2m to help build a new children's hospital.

Leicester City chief executive Susan Whelan made the announcement on behalf of the chairman on Monday evening.
