Niall Horan donates £ 87k to Irish charities helping older people overcome crisis COVID-19

Niall Horan has donated a whopping € 100,000 (£ 87,000) to an Irish charity that helps older people overcome the coronavirus pandemic.

The 26-year-old One Direction star gifted the generous amount to the Alone charity, and the organization stated that the donation allows them to continue to provide vital assistance to seniors during this difficult time.

Beat creator Slow Hands has said that “it’s a real pleasure” to show your support for a “great cause.”

In a statement, he said: “ Through interactions with the Irish government and HSE about the critical and immediate support Ireland needed, I discovered that Alone was a charity that did a fantastic job of caring for older people across the country. .

‘With increased support, they will be able to reach many more, always a priority, but especially during this unprecedented crisis.

“It is a real pleasure to help such a great cause.”

In the wake of the pandemic, additional resources from the organization went to Covid-19 activities, while all fundraising events were canceled or postponed.

However, Alone insists that the singer’s donation will help ensure that his services have the financial support they need to continue and develop in the future.

Sean Moynihan, CEO of Alone, said of Niall’s donation: “We are very grateful to Niall for his amazing donation that will make a huge difference to Alone and the older people we support, and we would like to thank him for his wonderful generosity.” .

‘Our message throughout this period for all older people has been’ you are not alone ‘.

He continued: “We would like to thank Niall for helping us continue to make this happen and supporting older people across Ireland.”

“Right now we are putting enormous resources into keeping the national Covid-19 senior hotline operational and ensuring that older people have the emotional and practical support they need to overcome this crisis.

“We want to make sure that the support we provide, which has proven to be so vital in recent weeks, can continue after the crisis is over. Supporters like Niall are helping to make this happen.”

Alone, who at her peak receives more than 1,110 calls a day, continues to encourage seniors who need advice or support to call their support line, 0818 222 024 from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week. .

The support line, which is run in collaboration with the Department of Health, HSE and local authorities, is available to all older people.

Niall’s good deed comes just days after his One Direction bandmate Liam Payne confirmed that he was ‘speaking’ to them again before their 10th anniversary this year.

The 26-year-old singer joked that he “couldn’t reveal too much” while talking to James Corden on the home version of the Late Late Show.

Liam did little to nullify rumors that the band would be reforming to celebrate the milestone, following reports that they would return with new music.

The hit creator hit that down told James, “I’m not allowed to say too much, obviously, because I’d be giving it away.”

“We have been talking a lot more right now, I think we all feel that that year … is a very special moment.”

Liam suggested that he has so far only spoken to Louis Tomlinson and Niall on FaceTime recently, while not mentioning Harry Styles and Zayn Malik.
