Ariana Grande gave 1,000 Christmas presents to kids in Manchester's hospitals

Ariana Grande gave 1,000 presents to kids in Manchester who spent Christmas in hospital, it has emerged.

The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital charity has revealed the pop star's generous gift.

The gifts were given out on children's wards and new born intensive care units at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital and Saint Mary’s Hospital.

Each child received two presents.

It's not the first time Grande, who has maintained close links with the city ever since the terror attack during her Manchester Arena concert in 2017 in which 22 people were killed, has dished out some Christmas cheer.

Last year she donated a £100 Amazon voucher to every child at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Millie Stacey, director of Manchester Foundation Trust Charity, said: "It’s so wonderful that our family of hospitals still hold a special place in Ariana’s heart.

"We were so touched to know she was thinking of all the children and babies spending time in hospital at Christmas."
