Doncaster Rovers and Doncaster RLFC players hand out gifts to sick children in hospital over Christmas
The team visits around Christmas every year to deliver presents to the children who are spending time on the ward over the festive period. This year, players brought miniature footballs, ideally sized for tots to kick, Lego and other gifts for the children.
“Thank you to the staff on the ward for the amazing work they do, for showing us around and for making the visit possible.”

"Last year they bought new books, games, CDs and art supplies with the funds raised which are used to keep the children entertained and crafting in the hospital school. For children staying over in hospital this is essential as it means they don’t miss out on any academic or creative development they would have had at school.
The team also presented two signed shirts to the ward, which were donated by one of the club sponsors, Eric Twiggs Food. The shirts will be framed and displayed on the ward.
