Trust Children’s Services team raise vital funds for B Positive charity
The Children’s Services Team at Lisburn Primary Care and Community Centre has raised an impressive £1,410 for the B Positive Charity following a hugely successful Christmas Door Competition and coffee morning.
The B Positive Charity was established by nine-year-old Adam Watson alongside his parents Sara and David.
Adam was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in 2019 aged just seven. Although Adam sadly lost his brave battle with the illness on August 3, 2022, his legacy of hope, strength and positivity lives on through the Charity, which continues to support children and families undergoing cancer treatment.
Thanking the Children’s Services Team for their fundraising efforts, Adam’s mum Sara said: “This amount raised is fantastic for B Positive.
"We have just launched our Bereavement Programme which means three sets of parents will be able to go away on a break through the Hastings Hotel Group if they have suffered the loss of a child.
"This incredible amount will make a phenomenal difference for the charity.
"The funds raised will go directly to helping children and their families who have been affected by cancer and it is fantastic.”
Children and Young People’s ASD Service, General Secretary, Gary Martin added: “I just want to say a huge thank you to our staff and everyone who turned up on the day during our Christmas Doors competition and who met Sara and learned of Adam’s story and dug deep for B Positive.
"This year saw the biggest donation amount made to a Charity and we will keep building on this in 2026.”
