Donate to charity monthly and help more seriously ill children

At Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), we help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible. But we can only do it with your support.

Start your monthly charity donation today and become part of a charity that helps make Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) extraordinary for more patients and families.

Your generous charity donation will help fund groundbreaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment, and the building and refurbishment of child-centred facilities.

You'll also fund support for staff and the vital services that children and families going through the toughest journey of their lives urgently need, like free home-from-home accommodation and Play specialists who help children process their experiences and prepare for treatment.

Meet Oliver

Eight-year-old Oliver (pictured above) has had a childhood filled with friends, fun and family. But in March 2024, he was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer and immediately started chemotherapy at GOSH.

The treatment meant he had to swap running around outside for keepie-uppies in his hospital room, cheered on by his favourite physio.

“The biggest thing he missed out on was seeing other children his own age because he wasn’t able to leave the room due to infections from chemotherapy,” Oliver's dad, Christian, explains.

“With the help of the hospital teacher, the Play team and his physio, Oliver was able to keep up with school and play games when he was feeling well enough. GOSH has done an amazing job of supporting him during his treatment. He is now home, excited to go back to doing all the things he loves.”
