About Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

Every day, around 750 children and young people from across the UK are seen at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). At Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, we help the hospital go above and beyond for seriously ill children, enabling kinder and better treatments, bringing hope for children with the rarest and most complex illnesses, and making hospital a little bit easier and a lot more fun for the thousands of children who are treated at GOSH every year. Our staff raise vital funds to support ground-breaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment, and the creation of child-centred facilities to help save more young lives, and essential support services that help save childhoods too.

Together, we can help give seriously ill children the best chance, and the best childhood, possible. We were delighted to be named Charity Times - Charity of the Year 2024, recognising the impact of our shared mission.
