Appeal partners
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity would like to thank everyone involved for their invaluable support of the Kiss it Better appeal.
Our founding partners:
Carmel Allen
Kiss it Better is the brainchild of Carmel Allen whose daughter Josephine was treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital for neuroblastoma.
“The premise was really simple, Kiss it Better is something every parent says and does when their child is sick or injured. I wanted to turn Josephine’s experience into something positive and to help make a difference to the lives of children with cancer everywhere.”

We will be contributing 23% of the trade price of our Kiss it Better branded range of Valentine's cards, which includes a design by Josephine, the inspiration for the appeal.

Biscuiteers
We recently experienced the wonderful, inspiring work of Great Ormond St first hand when our daughter was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia and subsequently underwent a bone marrow transplant.
We are so happy to be able to support the ongoing work of the hospital through Biscuiteers and hope that we can help to raise awareness and funds for this important cause.

Klor
"When I was contacted by Carmel Allen to design a logo for the appeal she was setting up for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, I didn't have to think twice. It was a great opportunity to give something back to a place that has been nothing but fantastic to me and my family. Every time I've been to Great Ormond Street Hospital with my son, I've been in awe of the place and the people I've dealt with and wondered if there was ever a way to contribute to the hospital through my design company - so this is the perfect way for me to help a little."
