Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC)
Sir James Barrie wrote Peter Pan in 1904 and bequeathed the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929. Since then the royalties have been a significant source of income for the hospital. The success of Peter Pan in Scarlet will ensure that Great Ormond Street Hospital benefits from Barrie's legacy for many years to come.

While the NHS pays for the day to day running costs of the hospital the charity, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC), was set up to help both medical staff and patients by making it possible to provide the best and most up to date equipment, create a better environment and allow for parents to stay in a specially built patients' hotel. The charity also supports the work of the Institute of Child Health which carries out research into medical problems and treatment for some of the rarest and most life-threatening conditions.

GOSHCC needs to raise £150 million over the next five years to help rebuild and refurbish two thirds of the hospital, buy vital equipment, continue to fund research and provide further accommodation for 1,000 parents a week so that they can stay near their children. All royalties generated from Peter Pan in Scarlet will go directly towards helping GOSH achieve this goal. To find out more about the work GOSHCC does visit www.gosh.org
