Here's the picture that shows the Bulls' shirt amnesty was a big success.

The club announced the scheme mid-season, encouraging fans to donate their old Bradford shirts from past campaigns with them all being sent to India.

Hundreds of jersies were handed over during July and August and they have now reached their destination at The Shelter' - a place of refuge set up to help feed, clothe and offer shelter to the thousands of homeless people in Mumbai and Banagalore.

Bulls chaplain Peter Dale is delighted the shirts have found a new home.

"I'd just like to say a big thankyou to all the fans that gave their old replica shirts to the people of India and, as you can see from the picture, the people were very grateful," he said.

"Some of those pictured live at the Shelter as they have no home.

"Others have a home - usually a tin corrugated shack - but struggle to make ends meet.

"The other shirts went to remote villages. For these people there is no such thing as government funding of any kind.

"The choices that they have, for making a living and supporting families, are very slim with £15 to £20 a month a basic wage for some families to survive on.

"Many struggle to make this amount. The shirts were well received by everyone and the Bulls supporters have helped enormously.

"Seeing the joy on the faces of those who received the shirts is a reminder to us all that we have a lot to be thankful for, especially at this special time of the year."
