The tally now pushed the fundraising efforts by staff at the Cheltenham company to £6,000 for the year.

"We are currently in the midst of planning our Dragon Boat Race on July 8, which is set to be a highlight of the fundraising year."

For World Wish Week staff across departments including HR, finance, facilities, marketing, operations, and distribution helped organise fundraising events including a bake-off competition, tuck-shops, fancy dress day and dance-a-thon.
