“Everything that is donated goes to helping people who have nothing,” he said. “All donations will be gratefully received and put to good use.”

Sydney has been to Romania several times for the Christian charity which has invested heavily in the country.

Recently he was part of a 26-strong party who were involved with working at the orphanage and on the organisation’s new building the Joint Facility of Love - for the elderly and children with disabilities.
