Happy Easter!
Celebrate Easter in your school and the support life-saving work at GOSH by downloading this fun colouring and fundraising activity.
Decorate and Donate Easter pack
Did you know that GOSH is the UK’s largest dedicated funder of child health research – and we urgently need donations to find new cures to some of the rarest and most devastating conditions in children?
If each child donated just £2 towards this sponsored activity, a classroom of 30 could raise £60 for GOSH’s research programmes – funding a valuable hour of research time to achieve medical breakthroughs for life-limiting diseases.
We're happy to send you collection boxes, stickers and posters for your classroom. Please get in touch and tell us about your Easter activity session!

If you're thinking about your Charity of the Year for the 2018/19 academic year we would love you to choose us! We have loads of ideas and resources for schools and would be delighted to speak to you about your plans. You can get in touch on schools@gosh.org or 020 3841 3131.
School assemblies
If your school chooses to support us with fundraising, we may have an Ambassador or member of staff in your area who you could invite to speak at one of your assemblies. Alternatively, we have videos, presentations and materials that we can provide you with to create your own Great Ormond Street Hospital assembly.
