The purpose at Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity or the charity) is to transform the lives of seriously ill children through research, care and advocacy. We do this by supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH or the hospital) and the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (ICH).
On average 619 children and young people from across the UK arrive at GOSH every day. Most of the hospital’s young patients have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions or complex serious illnesses. Every day, doctors and nurses battle with the most difficult illnesses and conditions, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering
medical breakthroughs. The charity undertakes fundraising activities in order to invest in development, research and innovation, welfare and clinical development projects, medical equipment and capital infrastructure, all of which will enhance Great Ormond Street Hospital's ability to transform the health and well being of children and young people.
