Ariana Grande donates Christmas presents to Manchester Children’s Hospital

She has supported Manchester Hospitals ever since the events of 2017

The US pop star has been a big supporter of the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital ever since May 2017, when a suicide bomber targeted fans as they left her show at the arena.

Previously, the Thank U, Next singer has made donations to Neo-natal intensive care units at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital and Saint Mary’s Hospital.

The Manchester Foundation Trust Charity posted on X following her donation saying: "Thank you Ariana Grande. We are so grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas."

The charity confirmed that gifts would be distributed to babies, children and teenagers across Manchester children’s Hospital, North Manchester general Hospital, Trafford General Hospital and Wythenshawe Hospital.

Previously, the 31-year-old has spoken about suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder following the Manchester Arena attack on 22 May 2017, in which 22 people lost their lives.

Following the incident Grande held a televised benefit concert in the city which raised $23 million for the victims and affected families. She was later made the first honorary citizen of Manchester.

Grande has gone on to have four number one albums and win two Grammy awards since the attack.

The star recently picked up her first Golden Globe Award nomination for her portrayal of Glinda in the 2024 box office smash hit movie adaptation of the musical Wicked, but despite her epic rise to the top she has always kept the city of Manchester close to her heart.
