Mark SurridgeEd Sheeran’s gone from “Lego House” to Lego Head: He donated a Lego sculpture of his own head to a local charity shop in his U.K. hometown.
As The London Economic reports, Ed often donates his personal possessions to the St. Elizabeth Hospice shop in Framlingham, Suffolk, and they sell the items to raise money. This time around, Ed has given the shop two Lego likenesses: a huge one of his head and a smaller, full-body one.
He’s also given the shop his first record player, a skateboard, clothing, shoes, some of his school music books and music stands he kept in his childhood bedroom.
Speaking to the BBC, the hospice spokeswoman, Helen Owen, said, “He’s been really generous…as Framlingham is his local shop, he thinks of us. Normally it is a few [sweaters] and Hoax t-shirts he wears on tour, which are great, but this time we got the head.”
She added that it was “really lovely” that the Lego sculpture is “of him, [and] made by him”.
Some of the items were immediately put on sale in the store — a hoodie and a t-shirt have already been sold for more than $200 each — but some of them will be put on eBay in an attempt to raise as much money as possible.
In 2016, Ed donated 13 bags of clothes to the store, and between in-person sales and online sales, more than 46 thousand dollars was raised. The hospice helps improve life for those living with progressive and terminal illnesses.
