Niall Horan has pledged a generous donation to the HSE.

The singer is set to donate 100,000 to Ireland’s national health service to help the elderly.

The donation is to provide tablet devices for use by older people and staff in public long term residential care so residents can stay in touch with their families.

Many elderly people don’t have a smartphone or tablet to chat to their friends and family so Niall’s donation aims to fix that.

Niall was inspired to do so when his cousins Patricia and Caroline sent him a photo of them talking on the phone to their granny outside her window and then decided to teach her how to use FaceTime.

Seeing the positive impact it’s had on his granny inspired him to do the same for other older people.

Speaking about the donation, Niall said: “So many elderly people are feeling vulnerable and isolated now more than ever.

“Thousands of families have needed to be pulled apart, including my own. Not only does this initiative bring them back together, face to face in the short term, it’s a positive development for the future too.

“Thank you to the HSE for getting this off the ground. I’m very proud to work with them on it.”

This is not the first time the No Judgement singer showed his generosity. He previously donated €100k to Alone, another Irish charity which helps the elderly, as well as €15,000 to Mullingar’s Meals on Wheels.

The man is not only super talented but incredible generous too!
