Donate this Christmas and help children like Henry get one step closer to home
Every child should have the chance to be at home with their families for Christmas Day.
By donating to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) this Christmas, you’ll be helping fund vital resources and support that Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) needs to get seriously ill children like Henry (pictured above) one step closer to home.
Your support can also help bring Christmas to the hospital and make it feel like a home from home for children whose treatment needs to continue over the festive season. It could help fund parent accommodation close to the hospital, so mums, dads and carers can stay by their children over Christmas.
Celebrating 25 years of our Christmas Stocking Appeal!
For decades, children at GOSH have received well wishes at Christmas from members of the public. It has become a treasured tradition for many, with 1.2 million messages sent to date.
Help celebrate this incredible milestone by sending your own special Christmas stocking message to the children, families and staff at GOSH when you make your donation.
These messages will be displayed throughout the hospital and will help make it feel like a home from home over the festive period.
Simply use the box at the top of the page to send your Christmas stocking message today.
