Alternative Gifts: Love, Great Ormond Street x
Love, Great Ormond Street gift cards are inspired by the extraordinary families and staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), who are some of the most courageous and passionate people you could ever meet.
Each gift card is dedicated to one of the four areas funded by Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) that help to transform the lives of children, families, and staff at the hospital:
- pioneering research into treatments and cures for rare conditions
- essential rebuilding and refurbishment of the hospital
- state-of-the-art medical equipment
- patient and family support services.
How it works
- Pick the life-changing project that matters most to you.
- Select the amount you’d like to donate, plus the cost of the card.
- Wait for the card and gold foil gift wallet to arrive in the post.
- Add your note and give it to someone special to let them know you’re thinking of them.
Why it works
This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential. When you donate on behalf of someone else, you also help us to get other people talking and thinking about the life changing work at the hospital.
When it works
These gifts can make a great secret-santa or gift for someone celebrating a milestone, a birthday or achievement. They’re also a lovely way to say ‘thank you’, ‘you’ve got this’ or ‘congratulations’.
