As of December 2020 we have raised: £11,414.60 and are fund raising again from 2021 with our new children's book!

The TV programme about Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2015 highlighted what the hospital does. The ups and the unfortunate downs, the nurses, doctors and surgeons. The new methods they are using and the emotions of all that work there and visit there.

I always say go and sit in the reception of Great Ormond Street for half an hour - it opens your eyes to what this place does, what the parents do and what amazing children go through those doors. Every parent who has been there knows the beeps and the sounds of the hospital and when you hear those again, it brings back emotions and memories.

We have also raised money to change into meal vouchers at a local restaurant near the hospital. This enables the parents of GOSH to have a good hot meal during their difficult time. We have done this by dinner dances, collection of toys and now our new fun reading book.

The children's faces are unbelievable when we deliver the toys. The nurses cant quite believe it, as the trolley of toys are wheeled in. It feels amazing to do and I hope you have all heard all our thank you's over the years.

We have had a fun chairty swim at our Woodside Park pool. This raised money for the hot meals again. Every bed in the Badger Ward were able to get 2 meals.

In 2016 raised money for the new respitorary ward and the parents accomodation based at the hospital.

In 2020 and 2021 due to Covid, we were not able to run our normal events to raise funds for this great place. So Jenson (why this all started for us and Jonathan's son!) along with a little help(!) has wrote a children's book about a subject we know well! The book is £5 and all profits go the GOSH. The books can be purchased at the pools
