Schools fundraising
Together with our supporters and fundraisers, we help Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) go above and beyond for the thousands of seriously ill children who are treated at the hospital every year.
Here’s how your school can be part of it.
Milton Keynes Preparatory School
"Fundraising helps to foster a sense of community with students and staff."
The Milton Keynes Preparatory School community was inspired to organise a mini marathon due to a pupil spending many of her early years at GOSH.
Students and staff came together to complete three laps of the playing field, encouraging and cheering each other with GOSH Charity's Bernard the Bear mascot joining in with high fives.
Children and staff all enjoyed the fun challenge, which brought the whole school community together.
"We all worked together to make the event a success and raise as much money as possible."
