FOOTBALLERS from the Tyne Valley have shown their kind side this Christmas.

Cheryl Hutchinson and her daughter Chloe, members of Hexham Football Club, organised a food bank collection to drop to the Hexham branch of West Northumberland Foodbank.

Cheryl, who is the club’s welfare officer, and Chloe, the coach of Hexham U12 Scorpions, were joined by the girls’ team’s sponsor Zoe Philipson, of Tyne Valley Ices, in dropping off the donated goods.

Cheryl said: “We’d like to thank all the club members for their generous donations which we dropped off ready for the Christmas deliveries.”
