A Kenilworth pub is set to host a car wash event this Sunday (May 26) all in aid of a Warwick Children's chairty.

The Gauntlet on Caesar Road is hosting the event all in aid of Molly Ollys.

The charity was established in 2011 by Rachel and Tim Ollerenshaw following the death of their eight-year-old daughter Molly from a rare kidney cancer.

It works to support children with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families and help with their emotional wellbeing as well as providing wishes and donating therapeutic toys and books to both children directly and to hospitals throughout the UK.

The therapeutic toy lion called Olly The Brave who has his own Hickman line and a detachable mane which helps to explain and normalise the effects of chemotherapy.

These form part of an Olly The Brave pack that has now been handed out to more than 70 hospitals or health centres, along with a set of books from the charity's exclusive Olly The Brave series.

The team at The Gauntlet said it wants to "raise as much money as we can during 2024 to support their wonderful charity".

The event will run from 9am to 12noon on Sunday 26 May.
