Leeds based financial company Lowell is the first business to sign up to sponsor some Sparkle and with schemes like toy deliveries for the Children’s Hospital and gift drop offs for adult patients facing restrictions this year due to coronavirus, the charity says that support for Sponsor the Sparkle is needed more than ever.

Laura Webb, Interim Head of Corporate Partnerships at Leeds Cares, said: “A huge thank you to Lowell for sponsoring a star this Christmas, their on-going support is invaluable. Without support from local businesses we simply wouldn’t be able to what we do.

"The money raised by our Sparkle campaign will help us spread festive cheer to the thousands of people who will receive care from Leeds Teaching hospitals over the Christmas period.”
