THANK YOU FOR HELPING

GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL Swindon Theatres are raising money to help fund brand-new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. For the past five years HQ Theatres & Hospitality, alongside sister company Qdos Entertainment, has been supporting the Theatres for Theatres appeal, in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. So far the generosity of audiences and staff has raised over £855.000 for the charity, but we have more to raise to help build and equip a suite of new operating theatres at the Hospital which will open in 2017. You can donate using collection tins at the Wyvern Theatre or online at gosh.org/theatredonation Your support makes a huge difference.
