Webuyanycar is giving out guilt-free cookies in London next Week

Online car buying service webuyanycar are giving out guilt-free cookies in select branches across London next week, as part of a massive fundraising drive for the world-renowned Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

The cookies will be available with every donation, no matter how big or small, received in branch, alongside GOSH Charity pin badges from Monday 22nd April-Sunday 28th April, or until stocks run out.

Fundraising activities will be taking place across 100 branches with 10 branches involved around London, including Enfield Crown Road, Old Kent Road, Colliers Wood and Watford North.

Alongside the cookies and badges, a handful of webuyanycar colleagues will be taking part in sponsored bike rides outside their branches each day, pedalling continuously from 9am to 5pm to raise money.

This big fundraising drive supports GOSH Charity’s Build It Beat It campaign which is dedicated to raising funds to build a new world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre (CCC) at the hospital. In addition to its own fundraising efforts this week, webuyanycar is matching £10,000 worth of donations made direct to the charity throughout April, helping specifically to build patient bedrooms within the new Children’s Cancer Centre.

Hayley Thompson, Head of Retail Engagement at webuyanycar, said: “This is the third year we’ve worked with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and so far the team has raised over £21,000. We’re aiming to double that total this month alone and for such an important cause, while also having fun with our colleagues across the business and getting our customers involved too.”

Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK and while GOSH already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers, the rapidly changing pace of cancer medicine has outstripped existing cancer facilities at the hospital, and it now needs a new home to help deliver breakthrough therapies.

The new Children’s Cancer Centre will be a world-class facility with children at its heart. This includes welcoming patient bedrooms that feel like a home from home, with enough space for children to play, eat, learn and sleep – and get better – and space for their families, too.

Webuyanycar partnered with GOSH Charity in 2022, supporting families at the toughest moments of their lives. The partnership kicked off when the car-buying service donated a children’s ride-on EV for patients to use while at the hospital, and has continued with its 1000 strong team taking part in challenges across the country to raise money.
