Proud partners of GOSH
As we all know, there are a wide range of charities that need money but as a business, we’ve chosen to support Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) for a very special reason. As a corporate partner we're committed to raising a minimum of £50,000. Read on to see what we are doing to raise funds to support such a fantastic cause and how you can get involved.
Who are
GOSH?
Great Ormond Street Hospital is one of the worlds leading children’s hospitals. Since its formation in 1852, the hospital has been dedicated to children’s health care and to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses. GOSH have developed a number of new clinical treatments and techniques that are used around the world.
GOSH as our
chosen charity
Some families face incredible challenges when their child is diagnosed with a serious health condition. GOSH are often an integral part in providing not only first class treatment but also care for those families. This means a lot to us at Giant because of a personal experience our group legal manager Maris Hanson has had with GOSH.
Over £25k raised so far!
June 2024 saw the end of our first year as official corporate partners of GOSH and we're proud to share that we have raised £26,770.
Together with the support of our community, we've waded through mud, hiked up Snowdon, run the London Marathon, climbed the Walkie Talkie tower and walked the distance between London and Paris. Don't worry, we documented as much as we could, watch our short video to see more.
We can't wait to kick off year 2 fundraising activities and look forward to bringing you along with us. Keep an eye out on our socials for updates and ways to get involved.
Christmas 2023
This year we're proud to say that we've continued our tradition of gifting the amazing children who will sadly spend their festive season in GOSH with some Christmas PJ's. We work with John Lewis to ensure the stock is untouched and Maris delivers them directly, just like our own version of Santa!
Easter 2023
Easter is another time children in the UK and around the world get excited about, whether it’s the chocolate-eating marathon or time off school. Unfortunately, not all children get to enjoy the festivities as some with serious illnesses will have to remain in hospital.
We wanted to do something little to bring a smile to the amazing children spending Easter in GOSH so we designed Frankie’s Bunny. We got 100 of these made and delivered them to the oncology ward along with some homemade cards.

Launching
Giant Giving
To kick off Giant Giving we wanted to do something special for any of the little ones spending their Christmas in hospital. So, in December 2020 we arranged a donation from John Lewis & Partners for 100 pairs of their brand-new Christmas pyjamas to the oncology wards at GOSH.
