Sweets for Life franchisees have helped to raise a staggering £1 million for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

During March, Cath and Mark Higham and 28 franchisees attended a £1million Celebration event at Great Ormond Street. Everyone met at the hospital and had a glass of wine and light refreshments whilst the Chief Executive gave a speech. Everyone then had their photos taken with the £1million cheque.

Sweets for Life Ltd has been raising much-needed funds for the charity since 2003, through the sales of our £1 bags of sweets.

"This is a fantastic amount to have raised for a really worthy cause and we are all delighted to have been a part of it. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in any way." - Mark and Cath Higham, Directors, Sweets for Life Ltd.

With the money raised, Sweets for Life Ltd have helped fund vital equipment and rooms throughout the hospital; including an ECG room, Patient's single bedroom and much more.

Stephanie Gaydon, Corporate Account Executive from Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity says:

  "Sweets for Life Ltd. have been fantastic fundraisers, raising a phenomenal amount for the charity. We're hugely grateful for all their support, which has helped to fund much-needed medical equipment and resources."
