Pop star Ed Sheeran is reportedly planning to take a long break from music next month to help with needy causes.
The 24-year-old "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker wants to volunteer at the Sue Ryder shop in his home town of Framlingham in Suffolk, reported the Daily Mirror.
Jacqui Bell, manager of Sue Ryder, said, "There's a good possibility he will volunteer here. We'd welcome him. My volunteers, who are aged between 61 and 91, know Ed because he was brought up in the town. They would be fine working with him.
"He purchased the old police station to open up a youth club for 1 million pounds, so he'll also be helping there when its up and running. I think he will draw the youngsters into our shop which would be good for us."
He is also expected to donate another wardrobe of clothes to Sue Ryder and a charity shop for St Elizabeth Hospice.
Sheeran is apparently in discussions to set up a new youth centre in the town after crediting its old youth club for getting him started in music.
