Hide AdGeorge's mother Di Chilvers has been involved in the Sheffield branch of the charity for many years.
"Early Education is a great cause to run for," said George.
"My mum and my family have been involved with it for a long time and it's a charity that's been running for about 80 years now.
"They do a lot of great things to train nursery teachers and support families across the country to give kids the best start in life, whatever their background.
"And I think in a time when things like this are getting hit hard by austerity, it's more important than ever that we rally behind them."
