London: Singer Ellie Goulding has donated 2,000 pounds to a charity in Hereford which aims to help vulnerable people survive the harsh winter weather. The charitable drive hoped to raise 500 pound to help the city's homeless population, but Goulding's impressive donation has surpassed their target.
The singer confirmed the news on her Twitter account after the city's local newspaper picked up the story, and garnered negative attention from some locals who wondered why she was being praised for her donation. In reply Goulding tweeted, "Thank you, and yes, that was the aim. I don't know why Herefordians are always so quick to the negative before the positive."
