United Dragons FC x GOSH

Together for the Kids - United Dragons Welcomes GOSH to the UD Family!

We’re so excited to announce that United Dragons and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) are joining forces in a game-changing partnership with a shared vision: to create brighter futures for children.

Together, we’re committed to supporting the physical, emotional, and social wellbeing of children – whether on the football pitch or in the hospital. United Dragons fosters confidence, teamwork, and personal growth through sport, while GOSH Charity helps Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) to provide life-saving and life-changing care for seriously ill children and their families.

This partnership will combine the power of play, resilience, and compassion to raise essential funds and help give seriously ill children the childhood they deserve to ensure every child can thrive, no matter the challenges they face.

As one of the world's foremost children’s hospitals, everyday, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are treated at GOSH from all over the UK and beyond. Through our community, our players and our team we now have the chance to make a meaningful difference in their lives.

United for a Greater Cause

This partnership is about more than just raising money – it's about bringing joy, comfort, and hope to children facing the toughest battles of their lives. Every penny we raise will help to fund groundbreaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment and child-focused facilities to help save more young lives, and vital support services that help save childhoods.

  • The Play Team: Specialists who use play to help children cope with treatment and recovery. From syringe painting to building block therapy, these activities transform the hospital experience, helping kids regain control and confidence.

  • Family Accommodation: Ensuring parents can stay close to their children, free of charge, during the most challenging times. This vital support reduces stress and helps families stay together when they need each other most.

  • Groundbreaking research: Offering new solutions and kinder treatments for children and their families.

  • Cutting edge medical equipment: Driving innovation and new technologies to increase efficiency, and improve patient and family experiences.

How You Can Help

But that’s not all – our United Dragons community will lead the charge with a host of incredible fundraising events and activations, including:

  • Charity quizzes

  • Really fun fun runs

  • Tournament days

  • Exclusive kit and merchandise

  • Family Sports Days

We’re also planning special moments throughout the year to celebrate this partnership, including family days and opportunities for our players to learn about the important impact they’re making.

Together, we can make an impact that goes far beyond the football pitch.
