As of now, there is no credible information or news reports confirming that Alan Shearer, the legendary Newcastle United striker, has donated €35.6 million to transform his home into a shelter for Newcastle United youth. Such a significant donation would likely be widely reported in reputable news outlets, but no such reports have been found.
However, Alan Shearer is known for his philanthropic efforts in the Newcastle community. He has been actively involved in charitable work, particularly through the Alan Shearer Foundation, which he launched in 2012. The foundation aims to provide support for disabled individuals, offering free sensory and leisure activities and respite breaks for profoundly disabled children and adults at a centre in Newcastle.

While the specific donation of €35.6 million has not been confirmed, Alan Shearer’s ongoing commitment to supporting his community is well-documented and continues to have a positive impact on the lives of many individuals in the Newcastle area.
Former England and Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer says it is “getting more difficult” to cover the costs needed to run his charity centre.
The Alan Shearer Centre in Newcastle was created almost 20 years ago and helps people with complex disabilities and their families.
Despite raising more than £7m in that time, the ex-footballer said it needed to raise an additional £70,000 a year to keep the centre free to use.
Shearer told BBC Breakfast he believed it was “really, really important” the services people use there remained free.
