SOCCER players in Huddersfield have done their bit to help the Tsunami victims.

Leagues and football groups have donated more than £400 to the Tsunami Disaster Fund, following a request by Huddersfield FA chairman Frank Beaumont. The FA has given £200, as has the Huddersfield District League.

BIG-hearted firefighters have raised £1,740 for the victims of the Asian tsunami disaster.

The Dewsbury fire crews washed more than 500 cars at their fire station between 8am and 8pm on Wednesday.

The station's crew manager Martin Ward said: "We charged people £2.50 to wash their cars, but were staggered by people's generosity.

"Some were putting £20 notes in."

All the sponges, buckets and other cleaning materials were donated by Halfords in Dewsbury.

"It's great that companies like Halfords support fund-raising in this way," said Crew Manager Ward.
