Article: Louis Tomlinson donates holiday gifts to @BluebellWoodCH hospice
January 15, 2018: In their January Newsletter, Bluebell Wood shared the news about Louis Tomlinson’s generous gifts to all the children of Bluebell Wood Hospice for the holidays. Louis has been a long time supporter of Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice as it offers care and support to children and young adults with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions. With their support, both at the child’s home or at their hospice center, Bluebell Wood Hospice is able to support the whole family as they go through a very difficult time with their seriously ill child. (see our previous article about Bluebell Wood for more about the hospice).
Throughout the year supporters will ask Bluebell Wood what things are needed for the children and their families, especially at the holiday season and one of the ways they are asked to help is through their children’s wish list they post online at Amazon.
However, as Emma Doughty, Head of Family Support and Wellbeing Services for Bluebell Wood explained, Louis’ generous gifts made all the difference as he gave everything that was left on the wish list right before the holidays. She said: “It was a wonderful surprise to get a call from Louis’ team to let us know he wanted to give some gifts to our families at Christmas, but when he then decided to buy everything left on the list we were stunned. This was an amazing and unexpected bonus. He really is a star supporter of Bluebell Wood.”
This is not the first time Louis has supported the Sheffield hospice Bluebell Wood. Indeed, he as he has been a long time supporter by donating, organizing football charity fundraisers, and using his social media platform to raise awareness of the service Bluebell Wood provides the community. It costs about £4 million per year to run Bluebell Wood. About 10% of this comes from government funding and the rest from the profits generated from the 10 shops that BlueBell Wood has and from donations. In this regard Bluebell Wood fortunately can count on the support of its patrons, like Louis, who help bring awareness to the hospice and who organize fundraising events for Bluebell Wood.
