Donate Essentials and Bring Comfort to Sick Children and Their Families

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. These donations are needed year-round and will provide vital support during a difficult time.

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. 

How to Get Involved
You can make a difference by gathering donations from your workplace, school, or community group. Bring your donations together and drop them off at the designated collection point at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. Place your contributions in our Little Heroes Easter Egg-sentials collection point (A Giant Easter Basket) located in the Mall. 
Every donation, big or small, helps bring warmth and support to families when they need it most. Let’s make this Easter special for our Little Heroes!
