The Daily Challenge

Keep the kids entertained from 5 - 11 August with a week of daily challenges to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

From painting, crafting and learning French, to homemade obstacle courses and treasure hunts in the garden, no challenge is too big, no contribution too small and no activity too silly for our fun-raisers. Simply pick one as a family for every day of the week and ask your loved ones to sponsor you on your online fundraising page.

Sign up for free and you'll receive a jam-packed list of ideas, developed with help from the Play team at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Whether its an outdoor challenge or a creative extravaganza, there's something for everyone in our low-cost summer activity guide.

What does the Activity Ideas Pack include?

The pack includes over 30 ideas and activities for the kids to choose from each day and a space for them to tick off the challenges they complete.

Some examples of these include giving up chocolate for the day, making the GOSH Charity logo out of things you can find at home, helping to cook a food or dish you've never had before and challenging yourself to 100 star jumps throughout the day.

All of the activities can be made easier, harder or adapted to suit you and your family.

Why your Daily Challenge matters

Serious illness can make it impossible to do all the things that should make childhood so special. When that happens, we're here to help make sure seriously ill kids still get to be kids. But we can only do it with your support.

By fun-raising for GOSH Charity this summer, you'll help to fund vital support services like the Play team, who help children at GOSH process their experiences and prepare for treatment. You'll also help to fund groundbreaking research, cutting-edge equipment and the creation of child-centred facilities, to help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhoods possible.

Be part of it.
