If you are celebrating a special occasion but do not want presents, why not ask friends and family to make a donation in celebration to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity instead?
Whether it's a birthday, wedding, christening, anniversary or any other significant event, this is a wonderful way to support the Hospital and introduce the cause to your friends and family.
How we can support you
We can provide you with materials such as donation envelopes, posters, balloons, and further information on Great Ormond Street Hospital and the work we do.
When all of your gifts have been received we will inform you of a list all of the donors and the total raised in celebration*.
Contact us on 020 7239 3002 or email celebrate@gosh.org
How can my friends and family donate?
The simplest way is to set up your own JustGiving celebration page where friends and family can make a quick and secure online donation via their credit or debit card from anywhere in the world. You can customise the page with your own personal message and photo.
Visit JustGiving now for step by step by instructions and to set up your page.
Other ways for friends and family to donate are:
- By phone on 020 7239 3002
- By cheque - please make payable to "GOSHCC" and send to: Celebrate donations, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, 40 Bernard Street, London, WC1N 1LE
- By donating through our website and selecting "Special occasion" as the donation reason
All donations made will receive a letter of thanks and where contact details have been provided a letter will be sent to the person requesting the donations in celebration. Amounts of individual gifts are never disclosed.
Building a tribute fund
Every donation in celebration acts as a tribute to the person in whose honour the donation has been made, while giving important financial support to the work of Great Ormond Street Hospital. Over time you can build a tribute fund by requesting that all future donations be credited to that fund. We will ensure all gifts received are recorded as part of that fund, so you can watch it grow and grow!
Should you have any questions about donations in celebration, please feel free to contact us on 020 7239 3002 or email celebrate@gosh.org
*Please note that our letter is sent four weeks after we have received the first donation. This is to ensure we provide the most comprehensive list of donors.
