A spokesperson for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity commented.“Our thinking is always guided by our aim to maximise the support we give to the hospital and the families it cares for.

“Following feedback from our supporters, guidance from the Charity Commission and taking into account the impending closure of the Presidents Club Charitable Trust, the Trustees have decided to retain the funds donated by the Trust.
