Last December, I was deeply upset when thieves stole the children’s gifts from the hospital and felt that I had to do something different to help (and obviously I am too late to replace the presents!!!) BUT by now everyone will have had a pay day ....SO
On Wednesday 13 & Thursday 14 February, I will be holding a spectacular book sale in 280 Bishopsgate to raise vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
From 10am to 4pm, a table will be set-up with loads of books & a collection box outside Grab & Go on 1st Floor of 280 Bishopsgate.
Please donate for a very deserving cause by buying a book or two ….or you could just donate for my efforts dragging all those books in. Imagine boxes full of books, travel by London Transport while wearing heels: NOT EASY.
Here’s the facts and figures for all you nerds…
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity needs to raise over £50 million each year to make sure the hospital remains the world-class pioneering institution it is today.
Support from fundraising events like this helps them to buy vital equipment, fund pioneering research and most importantly rebuild and refurbish some of their hospital site.
This redevelopment will allow them to replace inconvenient, cramped outdated wards with new facilities where parents can sleep alongside their child and will mean that children have more space in
which to get well.
So please dig deep and donate by buying (or not buying….not fussed which) a book or two!
