World of Sweets raises over £18,000 with charity candy cups

World of Sweets raises over £18,000 with charity candy cups

World of Sweets, leading wholesaler, distributor and importer of confectionery, has raised over £18,000 for charity through the sale of its charity candy cups.

World of Sweets launched a new range of Bonds of London Candy Cups, in partnership with The Honeypot Children’s Charity, with 10 pence from each sale donated to the charity.


Honeypot is a national young carers charity and supports children aged between five and 12 years through a wrap round service of respite breaks, educational breaks, Wellbeing Grants and Memory Making Days.

Each year, 4,700 disadvantaged children can enjoy breaks away from their caring responsibilities, helping to build brighter futures for the young carers and allowing the children to create happy memories they will cherish forever.

The money raised will help the charity provide essential respite breaks and ongoing support for young carers.

The Candy Cups were designed around fantastical themes, encouraging children to use their imaginations. Among them were the Bonds Teddy Bears’ Picnic Candy Cup, Bonds Pirate Adventure Candy Cup and Bonds Magical Forest Candy Cup.

“We were so excited to launch this range of Candy Cups in partnership with The Honeypot Children’s Charity,” Kathryn Hague from World of Sweets said. “We are thrilled to announce that World of Sweets has raised a total of £18,498.32 for the charity during our partnership.

“This incredible achievement has been made possible by our retail customers, who have really supported the launch and continued to repurchase the Candy Cups for their customers to enjoy and raise awareness of the amazing work Honeypot does.

“We are passionate about bringing joy into the lives of children and young people across the UK and are committed to continue supporting causes like Honeypot.

“We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to The Honeypot Children’s Charity for their incredible passion and collaboration throughout our partnership, it has been a privilege to work alongside such a committed team.”

Simmi Woodwal, chief executive of Honeypot, said: “All of us at Honeypot are immensely proud of the huge impact our partnership with World of Sweets has accomplished in the last few years. Just to put it into perspective, £18,498.32 is enough to fund 38 young carers on a respite break at one of our Honeypot Houses nestled in the countryside. This includes three days of food, activities, goodies and more.

"The beautifully designed charity candy cups have not only helped us to spread awareness of our cause to a wider audience, but have also engaged our young carers who loved the fun themes and tasty treats. Thank you to all at World of Sweets for your tireless fundraising and support of these amazing children. The impact you have made will last them a lifetime!”
