‘I think it’s a really good thing to link Macmillan to the city,’ Councillor Gerald Vernon-Jackson said. ‘They are going to be doing some great things to raise money and this is absolutely commendable.’

The sponsorship is due to begin in June.

Speaking last month, Councillor Steve Pitt, the leader of the council, welcomed the deal, describing it as ‘a change of direction’ from the previous Emirates sponsor.

He said the arrangement would promote the charity but also ‘generate income’ for the council.
