Fundraising Activity

As a great example of a cause related marketing campaign, boxes of high quality sweets and savoury snacks are distributed to offices, places of work and some public areas throughout the UK with built-in ‘honesty’ boxes which allow people to pay for their snacks. This enables consumers to buy snacks in their places of work whilst giving to charity. This has generated a revenue stream for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and has enabled Sweets for Life to roll out the operation across the UK and to employ over 100 people.

Celebrating Success

On 6 March 2009 all the franchisees attended a celebration to mark this achievement.
