Collections

A collection is a simple way to boost your fundraising and help even more seriously ill children at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

You can use a collection box to collect money at a fundraising event, as a stand alone activity, on a counter top at your business, or even in your own home to collect small change.

There are lots of other ways you can get involved and start fundraising from the comfort of your own home.

Collect at your fundraising event

If you’re having a coffee morning, book sale, or golf day, a collection tin can be ideal for taking donations or payments.

If you’re holding a bigger event, such as a performance or football tournament, you might prefer a collection bucket. Email usto order these.

Collect at your business

Displaying a collection tin in your shop, café, or pub is an easy way to raise money and awareness for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). Our tins are designed to be used at fixed locations; they come with a security chain and are individually numbered.

If you’d like to order a tin please remember:

  • If you work at an organisation, please provide the organisation’s address and not your home address
  • If you don’t personally work at the organisation, please ask a member of staff to complete the form so we know they’re happy to display a collection tin
  • The location where the tin is being displayed is responsible for the collection and transferring any money to the charity.

Collect at home

A collection box can help you gather small change around your house. You’ll see the total mounting up!

Contactless donations

If you’d like to take card or contactless donations at your event, we can loan you a contactless donation device that works alongside your smartphone.

We’ll help you set up the device to take donations for your event, and all the money raised will come directly to GOSH Charity.

You’ll need to return the device once your event has finished so that we can offer this way of fundraising to other supporters.
