Great Ormond Street Hospital (UK) & Peter Pan

Support a wonderful facility that is full of remarkable children whose bravery touches everyone.



Did you know that JM Barrie gave all the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929.  So began the enduring link between the author and the children of Great Ormond Street Hospital.


The first performance of Peter Pan took place on 27 December 1904 at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London and in 1911, the novel was published under the title Peter and Wendy and became an instant bestseller. In April 1929, J M Barrie gave all his rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. Though childless himself, Barrie loved children and had long been a supporter of the hospital, and his exceptional gift was a natural expression of that support. As Barrie himself said “at one time Peter Pan was an invalid in the Hospital for Sick Children, and it was he who put me up to the little thing I did for the hospital.”

More fairy dust was sprinkled over Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1988, when the House of Lords, prompted by Lord Callaghan, voted for a special clause in the Copyright Designs & Patents Act which gave the hospital a right to royalty from Peter Pan in perpetuity. So for over 100 years, the story of Peter Pan’s adventures in Neverland with Wendy, Michael, John, Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys, and his battle against his arch-enemy Captain Hook is still enchanting children and adults alike and is continuing to help towards making the hospital the incredible centre of hope it is today.

Karen Klein a bus monitored bullied by students on the bus

Did you know that bullying doesn't just happen to children it can occur at various stages in ones life. Here is just one example of such.  Below is a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York.  We must remember that we are all part of the great fabric of society and that we must treat everyone the way in which we would want to be treated ourselves.
