Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity has received queries from the public about fundraisers selling roses in aid of the charity. We have no agreement with any company for such activity to take place. This sort of fundraising has led to complaints in the past and we have not agreed to it for some years.
We do not sanction the sale of roses in bars, restaurants or any public place in aid of the charity.
Those holding general public collections in aid of the charity should be in possession of a letter of confirmation from the charity as well as officially branded collection boxes. If you question the legitimacy of any collector please ask for identification.
Concerned members of the public should contact the charity on 020 7239 3000 or contact the local police.
