Sponsor a Cosmic Rubber Duck
Join Cosmic on Thursday 31st July 2025 at Merchant Square, Paddington Basin for their annual Rubber Duck Race.
We invite you to come and purchase rubber ducks at our office at 1 Spring Street for £3.00 each, giving you the chance to win some fantastic prizes.
All funds raised will go towards the ongoing work Cosmic does supporting babies and children in intensive care, their families, and the dedicated team of NHS staff who care for them at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington and Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, Hammersmith.
PADDINGTON PICNICS
Join us from 12:00pm–2:00pm on two Thursdays in August for live music, sunshine, and good vibes. Bring your own picnic or pick up something tasty from a nearby spot - we’ll have deckchairs and blankets ready and waiting for you.
