Charity Gifts     

Great Ormond Street Hospital opened its doors on 14th February 1852, with just 10 beds, 2 wards and 20 staff. Today, we have 353 beds, 38 wards and 2,700 staff, treating children from throughout the UK and world for a wide range of conditions.

Although the running costs of the hospital are met by the NHS, the charity needs to raise over £50 million each year to fund, the latest specialist equipment, medical research, redevelopment and family accommodation.

We want to ensure the hospital remains a world class specialist paediatric hospital, giving new hope to children suffering from complex and life-threatening conditions

Our philosophy is ‘the child first and always’. We perform 550 child heart operations, and a comparable number of heart-related non-surgical interventions, every year, more than any other children’s hospital in the world.
