Building a Brighter Future

Amazing things happen at Great Ormond Street Hospital every day but it's the support of fundraisers like you that make it extra special.

We need your help to rebuild and refurbish the hospital, buy vital equipment and fund pioneering research. We are currently in the middle of an exciting redevelopment programme which will see two thirds of the hospital site rebuilt. Find out more about why we need to do this from staff at the charity and hospital by watching our video: Building a Brighter Future.

If you've been inspired by what you've seen there are lots of ways you can help us keep the magic alive.

• Set up regular donations to the charity -  you'll be making a really big difference for our sick children and helping us plan for the future.
  
  
• Fundraise for us by holding an event - check out our Inspiring ideas and download our fundraising toolkit (it's packed full of everything you need to make your fundraising a huge success).
  
  
• Take up a challenge for Great Ormond Street Hospital - whether you want to run the London Marathon, trek along the Great Wall of China or jump out of a plane, there's something for everyone.
  
  
• Get Better Gifts - if you're celebrating a special occasion why not ask for donations instead of presents?
