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…

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.

GOSH! Bonnie Langford and the hit record

Here’s one for @partywithponies and the rest of the fan club: Bonnie Langford's one appearance on Top of the Pops.

On this day in 1988, the BBC's pop music programme played a clip from "The wishing well". What was this song, what's it got to do with a children's hospital, and why the chuff are Bonnie Langford and TV's Doctor Who on it?!

Great Ormond Street Hospital is a children's hospital in London. It's got a great reputation for medical care and research and pioneering surgery on young patients. This appeal was the first concerted effort to raise money for the work they do, and had a particular point - to refurbish the dilapidated buildings. £40 million needed to come from public fundraising.

The "Wishing Well" appeal would run through 1988 and smash through its target. It's rightly seen as a template for other charity appeals to emulate. Big events included a swimathon in February, concerts by Michael Jackson and Cliff Richard, a classic car auction, the Willow film premiere, and £1.5 million as the London marathon's default charity.

To raise awareness, there was a one-hour documentary on BBC1 in the gap between Christmas and New Year. There was also a charity single, three years after Band Aid invented the idea, and eight months after Ferry Aid kept the idea rolling.

To modern ears, "The wishing well" isn't a great song. Frankly, to ears in 1988, "The wishing well” wasn't a great song. It's simple, effective, unashamedly tugs at the heartstrings. It's optimistic, the rising cadences in the chorus point to a brighter future. Chris Copping wrote the tune, it was produced by Ray Santilli and Keff McCulloch.

Main vocals on the song came from Boy George (who seemed to do every charity single of the era, including Ferry Aid), Peter Cox from Go West, Hazel O'Connor, Grace Kennedy, forgotten 80s duo Dollar, and Noddy Holder from Slade. The chorus included one-hit wonders Jimmy Nail and Hollywood Beyond, the metal band Uriah Heep, 1970s popsters Showaddywaddy, Andy Scott of The Sweet, and Hot Chocolate.

And - like on Ferry Aid earlier in the year - the chorus featured anyone who was able to get to the studio. Folk from EastEnders, hitmakers from Spitting Image, The Rent Party, some stars of Grange Hill, Caron Keating made a film for Blue Peter, Shriekback, Roland Rat Superstar, Andy Crane and Simon Potter from CBBC's Broom Cupboard. All of them able to plug the single to their viewers / listeners / fans. And there was Lisa Maxwell, Michael Croft, Dave Joyner, Terry Rice-Milton, Tracey Wilson, Jodie Wilson, Patricia Conti, the Cantabile choir, the Housemaster Boyz, Jenny Day, Kevin O'Dowd, and "many more".

And there were Bonnie Langford and Sylvester McCoy from television's Doctor Who. They'd been invited by Keff McCulloch, as he'd written some of the incidental music for the recent series. Is there more Bonnie Langford in the video than her vocal contribution merits? Yes. Does it help to sell the single to casual buyers? Also yes.

At this distance, we forget that Bonnie Langford was simultaneously a Famous Person With Lots Of Fans, and Insufferably Uncool Because She'd Played An Irritating Girl On Telly Who Screamed And Screamed Till She Was Sick. Bonnie’s time on Doctor Who hadn't fully rehabilitated her, she'd only been in it for five minutes and we were all waiting for the way-cool Ace anyway. GOSH wasn't going to sell its record to those who thought Bonnie was uncool. It was for the mums and grannies, theatreland and luvviedom, and it hit the mark.

And that is why Bonnie Langford was on Top of the Pops. Up next, the new single from Terence “Trent” D’Arby.

I am raising money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London, partly to say thank you for looking after a very close relative of mine, and partly to help the amazing team there do all the things they do, every single day, to improve the lives of thousands of children.
