Ed Sheeran has donated a life-sized Lego model he made of his own head to his local charity shop.<\/p>\n

Staff at St Elizabeth Hospice in the singer's hometown of Framlingham, Suffolk, praised the brick bust as an "incredible" donation.<\/p>\n

Sheeran also donated a record player, skateboard, headphones, school books and Heinz tomato sauce memorabilia.<\/p>\n

"He's been really generous - every now and again he has a clear out," said hospice spokeswoman Helen Owen.<\/p>\n

She added: "As Framlingham is his local shop, he thinks of us.<\/p>\n

"Normally it is a few jumpers and Hoax T-shirts he wears on tour, which are great, but this time we got the head."<\/p>\n

Ms Owen said it was "really lovely" that the Lego model "is of him, [and] made by him".<\/p>\n

    The charity is considering what to do with the Lego model, but said it may display it at its Ipswich hospice before possibly auctioning it.<\/p>\n

    It has previously sold the singer's items online, but is decided how to sell his other new donations because it wants local people to benefit from his generosity.<\/p>\n

    Sheeran's mother Imogen has made regular donations of handmade jewellery to raise funds for the hospice, with Ms Owen saying the charity was "really grateful to the whole family".<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
