Give to GOSH: a final thank you
As Give to GOSH draws to a close, one last thank you to all the businesses who have helped make the campaign such a success
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
In the last moments of the record-breaking Give to GOSH appeal, Prudential became the latest business to dig deep with a fantastic donation for the hospital.
Prudential joins a large number of corporate supporters who have played a key part in the appeal’s phenomenal success.
The Give to GOSH appeal has raised more than £3.5 million since its launch in November 2015, making it the most successful Christmas appeal in the history of The Independent.
Tim Johnson, chief executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, said: “It is wonderful that we are still receiving donations, right until the very last moments of the appeal. People across the country have pulled out all the stops to support the Give to GOSH appeal and as we approach the final stage, this donation from Prudential, which will go to patient and family support programmes, is the cherry on the top!
“This has been a phenomenal appeal and surpassed all of our expectations. All the donations that have been made will help to give seriously ill children the best chance for life and we are all eternally grateful.”
The money raised by the Give to GOSH appeal will support some of the hospital’s most urgent needs. These include the creation of a specialist unit helping children in urgent need of a heart transplant, and funding research programmes which aim to find new cures and treatments for children with rare diseases. The Give to GOSH appeal will also help to fund the patient and family support programme at the hospital, and the Louis Dundas Centre for Children’s Palliative Care, for patients who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
