Keeping families together during difficult times is vital. £35 could pay for one night stay in family accommodation at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) so parents from Essex and across the UK can stay close by while their child is in hospital. 

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity's new Never Far Away: Essex Appeal aims to raise £300,000 to fund patient and family accommodation at GOSH. 

We are asking the people of Essex to get behind this appeal; together we can make a massive difference to the families who are going through a very stressful time, if we can ease one worry then it is worth it. 

Whether you can raise £1 or £100; it will make an impact to so many families. 

A 7-night stay for two adults in a budget hotel 15 minutes from the hospital would cost a staggering £815. This cost is just not affordable for most families.
