Pub gives poor children shirts off your back

A PUB in Edinburgh is urging residents to donate unwanted football shirts to send to disadvantaged children in South Africa.

The Rose Street Brewery has launched a "shirt amnesty" and is asking people to donate the shirts in time for this year's World Cup, which will be held in South Africa.

General manager Jenny Angus said fans' shirts would be donated to townships in Johannesburg and disadvantaged youngsters in Cape Town.
