Jason McGill presents a cheque for £1,875 to the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, watched by Robin Rolls, director of the Archbishop of York Youth Trust
THE Archbishop of York stepped on to the pitch at Bootham Crescent to accept a donation to his Youth Trust from York City FC chairman Jason McGill.
Dr John Sentamu was handed a cheque on Saturday for the £1,875 raised during a charity match between York City and cast members of the ITV soap Emmerdale earlier this year.
After receiving the donation during half time at City’s home clash with Tamworth, the Dr Sentamu said: “This donation of £1,875 will help the Youth Trust in the work it does supporting young leaders in the north of England.”
A further £1,875 raised at the game went to mental health charity Leeds Mind.
