One Great Day at St Christopher’s Place for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Olympian Victoria Pendleton launches the nationwide One Great Day at fashion destination St Christopher’s Place for Great Ormond Street Hospital children’s charity

• The ultimate secret fashion destination St Christopher’s Place is located just off Oxford Street and next door to Selfridges
• The area boasts an eclectic mix of boutique stores, high street brands, and is the spiritual home of both Mulberry and Whistles
• The 4th of June will see the area host the national ‘One Great Day’ charity fundraising initiative in support of Great Ormond Street children’s hospital
• To celebrate, there is a full day of fundraising events planned, including:
• Victoria Pendleton will launch a Cyclathon, which will see over 40 teams of more than 120 local workers take part in a race covering the distance from St Christopher’s Place to Great Ormond Street Hospital
• The Piazza and nearby James Street will be traffic free for the first time ever, bringing together style and fundraising
• Resident cafes, bars and restaurants including Costa, Starbucks and Apostrophe will be taking part in a fundraising “Coffee Morning” between 10-11am, with all donations going to the ‘One Great Day’ charity fund
• A charity raffle and live auction, giving shoppers and local workers the chance to bid for exclusive luxury prizes and experiences including a weekend stay at one of St Christopher’s Place apartments
• St Christopher’s Place will welcome the 18-piece ‘Any Swing Goes’ swing band, inviting shoppers and local workers to enjoy complimentary food samples from resident restaurants

It’s a great initiative for a great cause, and it’s a nationwide campaign, with various locations around the UK getting involved – St Christopher’s Place is the central UK hub for all the UK activity.
