THE holiday of Cwmbran community council clerk will help children in care.

Football fan David Collins, 54, will join a group of Welsh football supporters to drive across Europe, donating money and goods to children’s homes along the way.

Mr Collins and a dozen members of the football supporters charity Gol! are heading for Skopje to see Wales take on Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier in September.

Cars from Wales will drive almost 2,000 miles through ten countries.

Mr Collins said: “The trips offers a chance to see some sun while doing something for a worthwhile cause.”

Gol! exists to promote a positive image of Welsh football fans abroad and help good causes where Wales play.

It has been active in more than 30 countries since it was set up in 2002.
