Give back this Christmas
Christmas is a time of giving and we’re delighted to announce that we are continuing our partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has been transforming the lives of seriously ill children since opening its doors in 1852 and has always depended on charitable support. GOSH Charity funds ground-breaking research, cutting edge medical equipment, child-centered medical facilities and vital support services to help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible. Throughout the festive period, members of the public can make donations via the Oxford Street website. Every donation will help make more merry memories for seriously ill children and provide the hope of many more Christmases to come. To help make help make hospital feel like home this Christmas for seriously ill children at GOSH, donate here.
GOSH Charity has supported thousands of children like seven-year-old Zarwa. Treated for a heart condition shortly after she was born at her local hospital, she was referred to GOSH five years ago and has stayed under the hospital’s care ever since, marking many milestones there. Born three days before Christmas in 2017, Zarwa has often spent her birthday in hospital, meaning she’s celebrated a lot of festive seasons on a ward.
Now, almost eight, Zarwa loves arts and crafts and anything Disney, especially her favourite character, Moana. She continues to come into GOSH for regular check-ups and will be spending Christmas with her family at home this year. You can help give the gift of joy, family time and hope to seriously ill children and their families this year and donate here.
Every donation to GOSH Charity helps GOSH go above and beyond for seriously ill children like Zarwa. A big thank you from everyone at Oxford Street and GOSH Charity – your support makes a big difference!
