This Easter, Little Heroes, the charity for the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, is inviting the community throughout Northern Ireland to gift ‘Egg-sential’ items that are needed by children and those who love and care for them.
Olympic Gold Medallist, winner of RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars, and proud Little Heroes Ambassador Rhys McClenaghan officially launched the campaign at the Children’s Hospital on Thursday, 3rd April.
The charity knows that people often think of sick children at gifting times and is calling on businesses, schools, individuals, and community groups across Northern Ireland to donate new essential items that will make a hospital stay a little easier for both children and their parents.
These thoughtful donations will provide much-needed support during what can be a difficult and stressful time and are items that are needed at the hospital all year long. To ensure the safety and well-being of children and their families, the charity has asked that only new items are donated. Whether you choose to help fill the Little Heroes Giant Easter Basket at the Children’s Hospital or create your own Easter basket to present to the charity, every contribution will make a real difference.
This campaign has already captured the imagination of grateful parents and the wider community with a Giant Easter Basket being made and given to the charity by a local business owner TREECO, and a variety of essential items already donated. To ensure the health and safety of patients, the charity has asked that only new items are donated.
How to Get Involved
You can make a difference by gathering donations from your workplace, school, or community group.
