Emily Beahan, regional fundraising manager at Action for Children, said: “We were thrilled to have received this donation. It will ensure that 50 foster carers and the children they care for across Yorkshire and the Humber can enjoy a Christmas party in Doncaster.
“We are very grateful as we believe it is incredibly important that these children and young people are given fun and bonding experiences, so they feel safe and happy this Christmas and beyond.”
In just six-month Crosskey FC has recruited a squad of 26 players and is playing matches around Doncaster.
