The 29-year-old 'Call My Name' singer said that she can relate to today's youth and wants to show disadvantaged kids that you can follow your dreams and escape your surroundings, reported Daily Mirror online.
"I had a tough upbringing and didn't have many privileges as a child. I classed that as normal because it was all I'd ever known. I know what disadvantaged young people go through. I understand it. I get it," Cole said.
The singer set up The Cheryl Cole Foundation in 2011, a charity which works in conjunction with The Prince's Trust to help underprivileged kids in North East England.
