“Our fans have played a big part in the club’s support of the charity by donating to match day collections, buying raffle tickets and buying junior shirts which carry the Rainbow House logo.
“We would like to thank our fans for their fantastic support and wonderful generosity.”
Carole Cochrane, chief executive of Rainbow House, in Mawdesley, said: “We were delighted to receive the cheque for £10,000 which will make a real positive difference to our work and to the lives of our beneficiaries.
