Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

GOSH Charity has launched its 2021 Christmas Appeal with an animated film about 4-year-old patient Henry’s journey from Great Ormond Street Hospital to his home in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire.  The film shows Henry, who spent his first two Christmases at GOSH, being helped by magical stockings that represent donations from GOSH Charity supporters.
