In a remarkable act of generosity, Leeds United winger Daniel James has donated his entire £10 million bonus and endorsement earnings to charitable causes, focusing on helping the homeless and vulnerable families across the UK. The 27-year-old Welsh international announced the donation through a personal statement, expressing his desire to give back to communities that supported him throughout his career.
“I’ve been fortunate in life and football, and I want to use that privilege to create real change,” James said. “No one should have to sleep rough or go hungry, especially not in a country with so many resources.”
The funds will be distributed among several UK-based charities, including Shelter, Crisis, and local Leeds outreach programs. James has also launched a new initiative to provide transitional housing and job training for the homeless, aiming for long-term support rather than temporary relief.
His selfless gesture has drawn widespread praise from fans, teammates, and public figures alike, with many calling it one of the most significant charitable contributions by an active footballer in recent years. Daniel James continues to show that leadership and compassion go far beyond the football pitch.
