Helen Whittaker who is going to Uganda in the Summer on a charity mission to work with disabled children in a remote rural school
The Dale Trust is looking to members and supporters to donate football shirts for disabled children in Uganda.
Dale Trust member Helen Whittaker is going to Uganda in the Summer on a charity mission to work with disabled children in a remote rural school.
Helen told us: “The disabled children are often treated like second class citizens and the charity I am going with are helping to build a school to try to give them an education.
“The kids love football and know all the major European teams.
“I am hoping to take some football shirts over for them and I am looking for any unwanted shirts (any team - any size).
“I already have a couple of Dale shirts and it would be great if I could get some more via supporters or the club - it would be great to see the shirts worn in rural Uganda!”
If you wish to donate a shirt you can drop them off at the Dale Trust desk in the Ratcliffe Bar before Saturdays match with Morecambe.
