Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of disease in children. The hospital offers the widest range of paediatric expertise under one roof in Britain, providing specialist care for children who often have very rare, complex and life-threatening disorders. We aim to raise 12 million pounds every year for research and development of new and better treatments, to replace outdated equipment in the Hospital and to provide accommodation and support services for families and staff. If you would like to help the Hospital reach its target, please send donations to the fundraising Department at the above address or telephone for fundraising information. We need money to improve our work with children and adults with spina bifida and hydrocephalus in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
