Victoria Beckham is “delighted” her son is getting involved in charity work.
Brooklyn Beckham – her eldest child visited a poverty-stricken area of Kentucky with Save The Children after learning about it at his school in Los Angeles.
The 10-year-old played soccer with children at Manchester Elementary School and presented them with shoes and backpacks, before joining in with an after-school reading group.
Victoria said:
"I'm pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet.
“Seeing Save the Children's innovative program in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis."
She added:
“What I saw in Clay County was the hope and promise inherent in every child.
"That's why we have to make sure every single child has a fair and equal start in life."
Victoria was said to be “thrilled” when Brooklyn said he wanted to accompany her on the charity visit.
A source said:
“She thinks it will help Brooklyn keep his feet on the ground.”
I think it's great to lead kids in volunteer and charity work at a young age. Princess Diana used to do that with her kids and they both are very active in helping charities now. Makes your heart melt to see little ones helping out like that.
