Simon Cowell backs Children’s Hospice Week

Simon Cowell, Patron of Children’s Hospices UK is calling on you to be a hero for Children’s Hospice Week (14-21 May). Just like superheroes, children’s hospices are there for people when they need them most.

Simon Cowell became Patron after seeing first-hand the services that children’s hospices provide for children who are not expected to reach adulthood and their families.

This year you can get involved in Children’s Hospice Week by taking part in Superhero Friday (20 May), a special day of hero inspired fundraising activities. Why not dress up as a superhero and make a donation to Children’s Hospices UK? Get your friends, family and work colleagues involved and see who can come up with the best outfit!

Simon Cowell said: "Children's hospices are incredible places that help life-limited children, young people and their families. As Patron of Children’s Hospices UK, I’m calling on you to be a hero and fundraise for Children’s Hospice Week.”

He continued: “Superhero Friday is a great way to support your local children’s hospice and have some fun at the same time.”
