It's called the "Charity" Shield. Does anyone know what charity it supports?

They changed the name from 'charity' to 'community' so they could get away with giving away less of the money they make from the match. The FA don't seem to mention much about the money on their website. Stating instead...

While Wembley acted as host, from 1974 to 2000, well over £5 million was distributed to charities by The FA, most of them nominated by the competing clubs.

Don't each FL club get given a slice of the money raised and can give it to whichever charity they like?
