Your celebration
We love celebrating special moments. Putting up the decorations with anticipation, knowing there’ is just ‘one more sleep’, getting together with family and friends. For seriously ill children, lots of special childhood moments are spent in hospital. At Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), we’re determined to make sure every first Diwali, every bar mitzvah, and every sweet sixteen, is a moment of celebration for every child at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
Your special occasion fundraising could provide vital support for children and their families at GOSH to help create more special moments – from bedtime stories to ringing the end of treatment bell.

Eleanor and Khai’s Wedding
Fundraising at your wedding or civil partnership ceremony is a unique and meaningful way to raise vital funds for seriously ill children and their families, so they can celebrate the big moments – and the small ones – even while in hospital.
Eleanor and Khai chose their special day to fundraise in memory of Eleanor's dear friend, Emma Rose. She was treated at GOSH for an extremely rare disease, Churg-Strauss syndrome, before sadly passing away at age 15. While Emma Rose was in hospital, Eleanor witnessed the incredible care, dedication and expertise that her friend received.
Eleanor and Khai raised an incredible £14,836.27 for GOSH Charity to give more children like Emma Rose the best chance and the best childhood possible.
