The donation was organsied via the school's fundraising group "Little Smiles".  As you can, the donation was made on the pitch before the game and involved some of the Gibraltar squad.  Many thanks to all those who contributed or supported the donation, the feedback from St. Martins was very positive and the kids really enjoyed the day.
