WREXHAM Police FC and FC United Wrexham visited the Wrexham Maelor Hospital Children's Ward as part of their fundraising.
They visited the ward to hear how the money raised will be used to fund training and better facilities.
The money raised will make a real difference to local children and their families when they need it most.
Sargeant Dave Smith, founder of Wrexham Police FC, said: "It really was a privilege to be invited to visit the Children’s Ward and meet the nurses. The care that they provide and the team on the ward really are fantastic.
"We were told that the money raised will be used to buy specialist oncology equipment that will make a real difference for local patients and their families.
"I’d like to thank everyone that has donated and supported our fundraising efforts, it’s been incredible and I’m very grateful. Everyone’s welcome to come to the game and support both teams, donations will be collected by volunteers from the ward. There’s still time to donate, any amount big or small will really help."
Please share. Our target is now £15,000. The money raised will be used to buy oncology equipment & toys 🧸 for the kids to play with when undergoing treatment. If everyone can donate a few pound it’ll really make a difference ➡️ https://t.co/JTxBVVN5Dd @wrexham @awyrlascharity pic.twitter.com/MiVihlvgIK
