Northern Irish plumbing, heating and bathroom merchant Bassetts has announced the launch of a charity partnership with the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a two-year commitment to support the work the Hospice delivers to children and families across the province.

Bassetts will rally the staff and customers of its 13 branches across Northern Ireland behind a full calendar of fundraising events and awareness campaigns designed to make a tangible difference. The partnership kicks off a new era of giving for the company, building on a proud history of community involvement and charity support.

The Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice offers specialist palliative care to over 4,000 babies, children, and adults each year. Their services include nursing care at home, in-patient respite stays, end-of-life care, bereavement support, and antenatal services through the Tiny Horizons programme delivered in partnership with the NHS.

The partnership will see Bassetts branches hosting a variety of events, from golf days and breakfast mornings to raffles and staff-led initiatives, all aimed at raising funds and awareness for the Hospice’s work.

Neil Collins, Managing Director of Bassetts, said: “The launch of our partnership with the NI Children’s Hospice marks a significant milestone for Bassetts. The extraordinary work they do in providing care, compassion, and comfort to families during their most challenging times is genuinely inspiring.

"We are deeply honoured to support their mission, and our team is fully committed and energised to ensure this partnership makes a meaningful and lasting impact.”

Kieran Buchanan, Corporate Relationship Manager at Northern Ireland Hospice, added: “We are absolutely delighted to launch this exciting new partnership with Bassetts. Their commitment to supporting the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice will make a real and lasting difference to the lives of local children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

"It’s heartening to see a leading business like Bassetts step forward with such generosity and community spirit, and we look forward to the journey ahead together.”
