Love Island star Harry helps launch Wishaw kids charity's new drinks range

A Wishaw kids charity have had plenty of cheers down the years for their great work helping kids with life-limiting illnesses live out their dreams.

But now the team from the Les Hoey MBE DreamMaker Foundation have gone one step further by bringing out their own range of alcoholic drinks.

And Wishaw’s Love Island star Harry Young was on hand to launch the drinks at several Lanarkshire bars - including Robin’s Bar in Newmains and The Peacock and Ivy in Hamilton.

Angela Cook, from the DreamMaker Foundation, told Lanarkshire Live : “We haven’t been able to do any fundraising events for some time so we have been looking at ways of raising money as there have been a number of kids diagnosed during lockdown that we would really like to help.

“We were put in touch with the Distillutions distillery in Arbroath and they produced three flavours for us.”

Angela revealed that several pubs and bars in Wishaw and Motherwell have already been in touch about stocking the drink, with Harry also impressed all three drinks, with the the Red Apple Sherbet Gin a particular favourite.

Bottles are also available online from the DreamMaker store.

Angela added: “Our first batch of orders has sold out already which is incredible.

“It’s exciting to see that everyone has got behind this.

"This will really help us especially as we are hoping to have our big events such as our Christmas party back over the next few months.”

Would you like to be one of the first to try the new DreamMaker Red Apple Sherbet Gin, Blueberry and Grape Vodka and Banana Rum? Well you could be one of three winners who each can chose a bottle of their choice.

All you have to do is share a post on the charity’s Facebook page, like the Facebook and Instagram pages and share it to three of your friends who would like to try the new range.

The closing date for entries is August 21.
