Williams, who last year became an official Ambassador for the Midlands-based children’s charity, has agreed to perform for the 250 invited guests ahead of Take That’s record-breaking Progress Tour, which starts two weeks later.
Trudi Beswick, Chief Executive of Caudwell Children, said: “We are honoured to have Robbie as an Ambassador for the charity and delighted that we have this opportunity for him to perform for us alongside Gary Barlow and Robin Gibb.
Of course it is going to be a great night of entertainment but the real reason we are all there is to raise much-needed funds to help some of the UK’s most at-risk children; unfortunately our help is needed more than ever so we hope the money raised will help us reach even more children over the next year.”
