Welsh drinks producer Radnor Hills has partnered with vending operator VendEase to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity’s (GOSH Charity).

The initiative will see both companies donate for every bottle of Radnor Water and Radnor Splash purchased from VendEase vending machines located in 400 Premier Inn hotels across the UK.

Proceeds will help fund the construction of a new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), designed to deliver specialist care and accelerate treatment breakthroughs for some of the most challenging childhood cancers.

Radnor Hills marketing manager Chris Butler said the partnership aims to raise “tens of thousands of pounds” for the project.

“Working in partnership with VendEase, who are match-funding our donation for every bottle sold, we are hoping to raise tens of thousands of pounds for GOSH Charity’s appeal to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH, which will provide life-changing care and hope to children and their families across the UK," he commented.

“It’s an easy and exciting way for our customers to support this world-leading hospital, every bottle counts and together we can make a real difference.”

Dave Berman, co-founder of VendEase, a London-based vending operator, added: “We’re thrilled to be working with Radnor to support GOSH Charity and to be playing our part in helping the charity to carry on the important, challenging and life changing work that they do daily.”

Sarah Bissell, deputy director of relationship fundraising at GOSH Charity, said every purchase “will take us one step closer towards helping to make the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH a reality, giving seriously ill children with cancer the best chance and childhood possible”.

The hospital treats some of the most difficult-to-cure cancers and is a leading centre for research into new therapies. However, demand for specialist services has outgrown its existing facilities, prompting the need for the new centre.
