At ASK Italian, we're proud to support this rewarding charity which we're all passionate about. Our aim of raising £1m for the hospital's charity will allow them to treat more children, and provide facilities for patients and their families. As families are so important to us here at ASK Italian, the link between us and GOSHCC is instinctively right.
We're pleased to announce that we have re-established our GOSHCC partnership this year, with the goal of raising £1million to help fund the facilities in the hospital's new surgery centre due for completion in 2017.
Back in 2008, we established our relationship with GOSHCC through their 'Kiss it Better' campaign. Then in 2010, we raised money through our Celebrity pasta cook book and donations on some of our special pasta dishes. In total we raised £200,000, which has gone to fund the ward kitchen and the adolescent dining and recreation room in the cardiac ward of the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building which opened in June 2012. Janet Holmes is the Play Specialist on the cardiac ward and says "The new facilities have made such a difference to all of us. The separate adolescent room gives teenagers a space of their own and the patients and families love them. As soon as we moved I noticed everyone had a smile on their face. The hospital experience is much nicer for everyone, and we're so grateful to supporters like ASK Italian who have helped make this happen."
