Cheryl just made a big announcement (and it’s not baby-related)

Fair play to her.

Fantastic work.

Cheryl isn’t far from the headlines at the moment due to speculation that she is expecting her first child with partner Liam Payne any day now.

However, let’s remember that she’s an accomplished singer and talent show mentor who also does a lot of philanthropic work with her charity, Cheryl’s Trust.

Cheryl’s Trust aims to provide support to disadvantaged young people and today, the 33-year-old announced that a centre will open in Newcastle this summer.

After five years, Cheryl’s Trust together with the Prince’s Trust, have found a base where people, aged 13 to 30, can come and seek help.

Here’s what she had to say today, in her first tweet of 2017.

“I am so happy and excited to tell you all that after a 5 year relationship with @PrincesTrust and a 2 year mission along with Cheryl’s Trust we have finally found a centre in the heart of Newcastle that will be opened this summer!

“Part of me is still pinching myself! I wanted to say a personal thank you to each and every one of you that got involved and donated money and items/your time over the years to help me get this off the ground. Thank you thank you thank you! And for your continued love and support, I am eternally grateful. Here’s to changing lives. I love you.”
