Lauren Doherty, Acting Director of Commercial and Brand Development at NI Hospice, said: “It’s fantastic that Uplift have chosen to support the work of NI Children’s Hospice with this charity concert. The arts play such a significant role in how we deliver our care, the children love the art and music sessions in Horizon House, as well as the visiting drama performances; so it is definitely a fitting way of raising funds. Uplift’s support will have such a positive impact on the most vulnerable in our local community – the babies and children with life-threatening and life-limiting illness who we care for, as well as their families. Thank you to UPA and all the acts taking part in the concert.” Ryan Moffett, Executive Director and Co-Founder, said: “In February we produced a show called ‘Bully’ which raised money for the NSPCC. A massive part of our vision this year at UPA is to produce opportunities to give back to the community that has supported us for the past 14 years. We look forward to seeing everyone there, so that we can give them a night of entertainment in thanks for their continued generosity.”
