The copyright of Peter Pan, gifted to Great Ormond Street in 1929, has helped fund the children's hospital over the years.

Clearly, runaway slaves found a welcome and a refuge in white working-class communities. Christmas Bennett team away to Whitechapel – a working-class area of London:

RUN away last Thursday Morning from Mr. Gifford's, in Brunswick-Row, Queen-Square, Great Ormond-Street, an indentur'd Negro Woman Servant, of a yellowish Cast, nam'd Christmas Bennett; she had on a dark-grey Poplin, lin'd with a grey water'd Silk, mark'd under each Ear with having an Issue, and a Seeton behind her Neck, and suppos'd to be conceal'd somewhere about Whitechapel. Whoever harbours her after this Publication shall be severely prosecuted; and a Reward of a Guinea will be given to any Person who will give Information of her, so that she may be had again.

I’m fully convinced that the main reason Disney have made Peter Pan and Wendy a Disney+ release and not released it in the cinemas is because this way they don’t have to pay any money made at the box office to Great Ormond Street Hospital (a children’s hospital which receives royalties from any and all things related to Peter Pan)

If I’m wrong and GOSH are in fact profiting from this remake, then please let me know but… yeah.

Personal Post - One More Run For Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital

Please donate to my fundraiser for Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Thank you!

A few months ago, I embarked on my own fundraiser for Great Ormond Street Hospital, to which many of you responded with tremendous, extremely touching generosity. I recently discovered that the Hospital is organising a special fundraising day at Hyde Park in London — which will include a 5 km #RaceForTheKids — and that they need help generating publicity for it. So, I decided the least I could do…

I am so happy to see Glen here! The Great Ormond Street Hospital, for those who may not know, was gifted the rights of the book Peter Pan, by J.M. Barrie in 1929. This was so the hospital would benefit from any use of his story, for example the payment from Walt Disney Studios Peter PAn (1953) which by the way is my favorite Disney film.

J.M. Barrie (9 May 1860 – 19 June 1937), the creator of Peter Pan, displayed his generosity by donating the rights to the play to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London during his lifetime in 1929.

This remarkable gesture ensured that the hospital would receive a perpetual royalty from any production of Peter Pan, providing a consistent source of funding.

As a result, the hospital has benefited from royalties generated by various adaptations, such as stage productions, films, and merchandise.

These funds have been utilized for research, infrastructure improvements, and the overall care of the children under their treatment.

Over time, the arrangement's specifics have evolved due to changes in copyright law, but the hospital continues to benefit from the ongoing legacy of Peter Pan.

In what year did Great Ormond Street Hospital open in London?

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) opened as the Hospital for Sick Children on 14th February 1852, the first UK hospital dedicated to inpatient care for children. GOSH is a children’s hospital in the Bloomsbury area of London that has been in practice for over one and a half centuries. Every day, over 600 children or young people arrive at the hospital for life-changing treatment. Thanks to extraordinary charitable support, doctors have been able to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs and thousands of children have been given a new lease of life.

Without a doubt, the person with the biggest association with Great Ormond Street Hospital is James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) – or, one could say, 'Peter Pan'. In 1929, Barrie generously gifted his copyright of 'Peter Pan' to GOSH. The hospital continues to benefit from the character's popularity.

The hospital has relied on charitable support since it first opened and receives the majority of its money through the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. The NHS helps with the day-to-day running of the hospital but the fundraising income allows Great Ormond Street Hospital to remain at the forefront of child healthcare. The charity aims to raise over £50 million every year for research, rebuilding, life-saving equipment, and support for families.
