For this year’s game, we’ve picked two charities that work alongside children/young people to provide much needed services.

Firstly, the NI Children’s Hospice, who support babies, children and their families through a range of services. This includes specialist nursing care at home, supported breaks via their In-Patient Unit, end-of life care and family and bereavement support. They also work in partnership with the NHS to support parents with an antenatal care service, Tiny Horizons.

In addition, Hope365 who are based in NI, provide support for children in Shashemene, Ethiopia. There are over 1000 kids some as young as six years of age, living 24/7 on the streets. Some are orphans, others are there as the result of trafficking, or extreme poverty.

With your support we are aiming to raise funds for young people both here at home in Northern Ireland, and across the world where the things we take for granted are a lot less common.

Thank you for your donations and all support is greatly appreciated
