The WCD Group – Proud Partners of Well Child
The WCD Group are very proud to partner with Well Child and are actively working on Projects to improve the lives of young children. Please support us in our fund raising and make any donations possible to this great cause.
WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children and their families. Thousands of children and young people are living across the UK with serious illness or exceptional health needs. Many spend months, even years in hospital simply because there is no support enabling them to leave. Through a nationwide network of expert children’s nurses, home and garden makeover projects, family support and empowerment services, WellChild helps get these children and young people home from hospital quicker. With the support of the charity’s Patron Prince Harry, WellChild gives these children the best chance to thrive – at home, together with their families.
Other WCD Group Charity Work
The WCD Group is active in the community and is proud to support charities both locally and across the UK and have done so in a variety of ways over the years. We have supplied our branded charity water for numerous events, donated money and prizes for charity auctions, sponsored people taking part in various challenges and actively promoted our Coolers For Schools campaign.
We are keen to hear from you! If you need support for a charitable event or are interested to see how we can help please contact us

Coolers for Schools
The WCD Group is always keen to provide schools with free water coolers. It is part of our initiative to hydrate school children as it is now commonly known that children who drink plenty of water have improved concentration levels and ability to learn.
If you want to enquire about a free water cooler for your school then please contact our friendly sales team on 0800 7311 491.
