Patrons

Find out more about GOSH Charity's patrons and fundraising patrons.

Patrons

The title of Patron is the most senior honorary role offered to volunteer supporters, and is given for an initial term of three years. It recognises the significant and sustained support an individual gives to our work, their on-going commitment to furthering the impact and reach of Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), and their personal integrity and dedication to helping us raise funds to improve the lives of seriously ill children and their families at the hospital.

They play a vital role in helping Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) to transform the lives of seriously ill children at the hospital by offering their time, skills, networks, gifts and passion. We are extremely grateful for their support.

We’re delighted to appoint Simon Cowell as our Patron in 2025. Read more about his appointment.

Fundraising patrons

The honorary title of Fundraising Patron is given in acknowledgement of outstanding fundraising leadership in support of GOSH Charity and reflects long-standing and continued support in helping advance paediatric healthcare.

We’d like to thank the fundraising patrons who give their time and energy to help GOSH Charity in its fundraising.
