Four year old Henry comes to GOSH for treatment on his kidneys on Eagle ward.

At Christmas, time spent with the people you love is precious. For the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) who are too ill to go home this Christmas, that time feels even more precious.

Even at this special time of year, children, families and staff at GOSH face rare and complex conditions every day. Every day, 618 seriously ill children from across the UK arrive for the hospital’s specialist care and treatment.

With your support, we can help families at Great Ormond Street Hospital be together this Christmas.
