Remember that last birthday party or special celebration you had where you received gifts that you never used? Or perhaps you have a wedding coming up and you’re looking for a way to make that day extra special? It’s for situations like these that we created our In Celebration pages, which give our supporters the opportunity to ask for donations to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity instead of unwanted gifts.

We understand that this concept might be a bit unfamiliar to some, so please allow us to explain how they work

The scenario

You have a birthday, wedding, anniversary or other special occasion coming up, and you’d like to ask for donations to our charity in place of gifts – to make it extra-special!

Create

You visit our website and we help you to create a celebrate page where you can upload photos and let your friends and family know how they can post a message whilst donating easily and securely online. Your celebration page can accept tax-efficient secure donations from anywhere in the world.

Celebrate

This is the fun part – you celebrate the occasion with friends and family!

Donate

You collect donations to support the vital work of Great Ormond Street Hospital. We will individually thank every donor on your behalf at the time of their gift and send you a list of everyone who contributed along with an overall total raised, so that you can thank people personally.

We’d love it if you and your friends and family could celebrate with us and make a real difference to the sick children that we treat at the Hospital. No matter what the size, these gifts will help us to help more children in our care

What was the last gift you received that went unused?
