💙 We’ve raised £25 million for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity! 👏 This whopping total is a demonstration of our teams, guests, and supplier’s commitment. It’s a huge milestone to recognise and we couldn’t have done it without our incredibly dedicated team members. Since 2012, from skydives and marathons to getting crafty and creative, our teams have continued to innovate in their fundraising effort and we are in awe of their commitment. To commemorate hitting this £25 million mark, we held a celebration night for some of our GOSH Champions to celebrate their efforts The money raised has helped to build: 👉 The Premier Inn Clinical Building in 2018 👉 The Sight and Sound Centre in 2021 We're not done yet, as we begin our biggest challenge yet - raising money for a new Children’s Cancer Centre 💙 This milestone marks a key point in our commitment as a Founder Partner of the Children's Cancer Centre and we are by GOSH Charity’s side as they aim to Build It. Beat It. So many of our team members have personal links to the charity and go above and beyond to fundraise every single year. We’re so proud and couldn’t do it without all of you! 🫶

Well done that’s an amazing result. I remember the day Simon and Patrick introduced us to Gosh and the inspiring presentation from Anthony and the day we started the campaign. We thought and hoped we might get to £3m one day. Never dreamt you would get to £25m. Keep going. https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamantbennett

Wow wow wow! This is outstanding! I remember the day the partnership was announced after we as Whitbread employees, voted for who we would like our charity partner to be. It was incredibly emotional and we went on to get 100% behind it and our fundraising pledge. I have fond memories of many fundraising activities with my purple colleagues and this achievement is really something many many people contributed to and as a business you have shown that it can be done so many congratulations 👏

I remember when GOSH was chosen as the new charity at Premier Inn and myself and 3 colleagues jumped out of a plane in Peterborough! It was amazing to be a part of this great fundraising journey and to see it continue to help so many families 💜
