Help a Capital Child with GBK and Healthy Choices at YO! Sushi

Help a Capital Child​

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) is pledging to continue its support of Capital FM’s Help a Child charity by offering two of their burgers for a combined price of £10, with 20p of each sale being directly donated. Running from 16 January to 26 February, the charitable promotion follows the £250,000 raised by GBK since 2009 for the charity which gives financial support to grass-root projects for London’s less-advantaged children. GBK are also giving a CapitalFM radio listener the chance to win a trip to the town of Hamburg in New York for the Hamburger festival, with £500 spending money. “The capital’s best burgers and helping London’s disadvantaged kids? It really doesn’t get much better than that,” said Capital FM presenter Rich Clarke at the launch. “GBK’s support of Help a Capital Child has been phenomenal over the last couple of years, and we are all confident that this latest partnership will be the most successful yet.”
