The mall is taking part in a nationwide fundraising day for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity

Edmonton Green Shopping Centre is participating in ‘One Great Day’ this Saturday (2nd September) as part of a UK-wide annual fundraising event to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

The celebrations at Edmonton Green will see the centre packed full of fun for the whole family to enjoy. The North Square will have a stage where local individuals and community groups, including singers, rappers, and dancers, will perform and entertain the public.

There will also be a host of activities for everyone to experience, including face painting and hair braiding, a foosball table, and buzz wire. In addition, there will be several chances to win great prizes by taking part in exciting competitions, including ping pong, high striker, and a keepy-uppy challenge.

The event runs from 10am until 4pm. As well as Great Ormond Street, donations from this year’s event will also help to support Edmonton-based education charity, Northside Youth & Community Connexions (NYCC).

Joe Katona, Centre Manager at Edmonton Green, said: “We are delighted to be able to host this event again this year and support the fundraising efforts of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and NYCC, who are based here at the centre.”

Joe continued: “We can promise shoppers and families that they will have a fun-filled day and hopefully make some great memories, all while raising money for charity.”

NYCC is a community-led charity that is taking a fresh approach to youth work and providing support to the varied and diverse communities of North London.

Cynthia Cobourn, chief executive officer at NYCC, commented: “This is the third year that we have partnered with Edmonton Green Shopping Centre for ‘One Great Day’, and we are excited to help deliver another fun community event that raises money for two great causes.”

‘One Great Day’ primarily supports Great Ormond Street Hospital and local children’s charities close to the heart of each community. Great Ormond Street Hospital is located in central London, and more than half of its patients come from across the UK — often with illnesses that cannot be treated elsewhere.
