Paul Randall from the Nottingham Council for Voluntary Service was amongst the volunteers and said: “It was a fantastic day and he said the reaction from cricket fans was positive”.
“We got a good response from people. We had flyers to give out to people to explain why we were raising money and who Danielle is, especially for people who aren’t from our area who perhaps recognised the name but weren’t sure.
“There was one man who took a leaflet and read it and then on his way back in the car he wound down his window and gave us some money because he thought it was a good cause.”
