The motion

That this House congratulates Linfield Football Club for choosing to donate the sponsorship of its shirts to the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, a charity based in Northern Ireland which cares for children and young people with complex needs and deals with over 600 life-limited children and young people and their families who depend on the specialist care that only the Children's Hospice can provide; notes the excellent work which the charity is engaged in with a tailored service being provided in a child's own home and the children's hospices in Newtownabbey and Fermanagh; and commends Linfield Football Club for donating five pounds to the charity from each shirt sale and for taking the lead to help raise awareness and promote the charity which cares for so many life-limited children and young people and their families in Northern Ireland.
