North Shields’ players have donated the funds from their players’ pool this season to local NHS staff.
The Ebac Northern League Division 1 club’s committee and commercial team member Carl Redhead has been collecting donations to help staff who are short on care products during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
He has matched all donations he has received to buy essentials for staff at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in nearby Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The playing squad have donated £800, raised from the season’s players’ pool, together with personal donations from the management team, playing squad and club committee.
