Ariana Grande spreads festive cheer in Manchester

Ariana Grande has supported children's hospitals in Manchester ever since the Manchester Arena attack seven years ago

Ariana Grande has spread some festive cheer by donating Christmas presents to children in hospitals across Manchester.

The American pop star has supported Royal Manchester Children's Hospital since May 2017, when a suicide bomber targeted fans as they left her concert in the city.

Grande previously 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.

Following her latest donations, the Manchester Foundation Trust Charity posted on X: "Thank you Ariana Grande. We are so grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas."

The Manchester Foundation Trust Charity said children were "so grateful" for the presents

The charity said the gifts were "being distributed to babies, children and teenagers" across Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, Trafford General Hospital and Wythenshawe Hospital.

Grande has spoken openly about struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder following the Manchester Arena attack on 22 May 2017, in which 22 people were killed.
