Great Ormond Street Hospital appeals for new cancer centre

GOSH has launched its biggest-ever fundraising appeal to raise £300m for a new cancer centre, which it hopes will treat some of the most rare and difficult cancers.

The hospital, London Marathon’s charity of the year, hopes to make headway raising the funds with the marathon on 23^rd April.

The centre will have intensive care units, operating theatres, inpatient wards and cancer day care centres.  Alongside clinical services, the centre will also have a new hospital school and outdoor spaces, including a roof garden.

GOSH already treats the highest number of children with cancer in the UK. While investment in treatment and research has significantly improved survival rates, cancer remains the most common cause of death in children up to the age of 14, according to Cancer Research UK statistics.
