Frequently asked questions

Why leave a gift in my Will to GOSH Charity?

For over 170 years, GOSH has been there to support and care for seriously ill children and their families. Today, it’s one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals, caring for around 750 patients every day. But this life-changing work relies on the generosity of people like you – and on the lasting support of gifts in Wills. By supporting GOSH Charity with a gift in your Will, you could help give future generations of children the best chance and the best childhood possible. That’s a very special gift to leave behind.

What will my gift fund?

Leaving a gift in your Will could help fund:

1. Cutting-edge medical equipment to help save more lives.

2. Support services for children and families, including free home-from-home accommodation, so loved ones can stay close.

3. New child-centred facilities, like places to play and welcoming spaces where families can take a quiet moment.

4. Groundbreaking research to find better treatments and cures. As the UK’s largest funder of child health research, we support around 500 research projects at any one time.

How much does the gift have to be to make a difference?

Every gift can make a positive difference to the future of the hospital and, although some are very large gifts, the majority are not. It is what they achieve together that makes them so appreciated and important.

Do I need to tell GOSH Charity if I’ve included a gift in my Will?

You don’t need to tell us, but, if you are happy to do so, letting us know about your gift will help us to plan for the future as well giving us the chance to say thank you today. Anything you tell us will be treated confidentially and is not legally binding. Email [email protected] or call 020 3841 3131 to let us know.
