Our Partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) provides vital medical care and support for children facing serious illnesses and conditions. In the heart of Bloomsbury, GOSH stands as a beacon of hope for countless families across the globe. Red Carnation Hotels are proud to be a partner of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSH Charity), which supports the hospital to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential. We are pleased to say that as a company, Red Carnation Hotels have raised an astounding £400,000 so far for GOSH Charity, a testament to our shared values and unwavering dedication to making a difference.

What sets GOSH apart is not just the medical expertise it offers, but the unparalleled level of detail and care that permeates every corner of the hospital. From the meticulously crafted design of its buildings, to the imaginative murals adorning the walls, every aspect of GOSH tells a story of resilience and courage. There's even a reception desk in the form of a ship, serving as a symbol of hope and adventure. Here, there is a lowered check-in desk, helping the children to feel part of the process as well as their parents. As night falls, the rooms have the ability to show a projection of Peter Pan on the wall, signalling to every patient that it's time to rest. Additionally, in one part of GOSH, you'll find the Disney Reef, a colourful, underwater-themed outdoor play area. This is a particularly incredible space where children can interact with one another and let their imaginations run wild. 

But perhaps what truly sets GOSH apart is its unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child feels at home. Gone is the sterile scent that often haunts hospitals, replaced instead by an ambiance of warmth and comfort. Amidst all the incredible lengths GOSH has taken to create a warm and inviting space, it's important to remember the roots from which GOSH has grown. What began as a humble establishment with just ten beds has blossomed into a sprawling sanctuary that occupies a considerable space in the heart of Bloomsbury. Through the years, it has remained a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of compassion and humanity.

Great Ormond Street Hospital continues to pave the way for a future where every child's journey is marked not just by survival, but by moments of joy, laughter, and endless possibility. Red Carnation Hotels is privileged to be affiliated with such a significant organisation. If you're able, please consider donating to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity to support the critical care and treatment of seriously ill children. Every contribution makes a difference in their journey towards better health and brighter futures.
