J D Wetherspoon
Our longest-standing corporate partner, J D Wetherspoon has raised more than £26 million for Young Lives vs Cancer since 2002 — an extraordinary total made possible by staff and customers in pubs across the UK.
J D Wetherspoon staff and customers bring the partnership to life in pubs across the UK. Our dedicated team supports colleagues with fundraising ideas, answers questions and helps turn brilliant ideas into action — from KICK, a national five-a-side football tournament culminating at Wembley, to a UK-wide darts tournament, limited-edition pin badges and charity products sold in pubs.
John Hutson, Chief Executive of JD Wetherspoon, said:
“We are incredibly proud of the partnership we have built with Young Lives vs Cancer over the past two decades. The £26 million raised is a testament to the generosity of our customers and the enthusiasm and dedication of our pub teams across the UK.”
