Tottenham star Gareth Bale shows incredible generosity by paying £15,000 to buy Christmas hampers for struggling families in Wales

Gareth Bale is doing his bit to help out this Christmas, by putting his hand in his pocket and paying £15,000 to ensure poor families in Wales do not go without.

Bale has made the remarkable gesture after getting involved in the 'Everyone Deserves a Christmas' campaign organised by the South Wales Evening Post, when he was initially just asked for a signed football shirt.

But the Wales star, on loan at Spurs from Real Madrid, was keen to do more, and has now paid out for 300 Christmas hampers for families which price at £50 each.
