Players, parents and staff at a local football club in Gedling have raised £10k for a local charity which grants magical wishes for youngsters with life threatening illnesses.

Representatives from Gedling Southbank Football Club invited Mayor of Gedling Sandra Barnes and Wish Upon A Star founder Barbara White along to a special evening of celebration where the cheque was presented to the charity.

Club representative Matt Johnson said: “It was a great celebration of the work put in by all those involved in the fundraising activities to help children less fortunate than ourselves. Well done to everyone”
