The History of the Buttercup at RNOH

 

            

 

1930s

Our original Buttercup Day took place in the 1930s, when local children picked buttercups from the local countryside and sold them in central London to raise funds for the hospital.

2003

This fundraising tradition was revived in 2003, with
the first annual Buttercup Walk.

 

       

 

                

2004 - 2019

Since then, thousands of patients and friends of RNOH (and several celebrities!) have taken part in
the Walk.

 

2020 - 2023

The pandemic meant that the Buttercup Walk had to be paused, however we have continued to mark Buttercup Day, including it as part of our Impossible Possible campaign.  All funds raised continue to go towards projects that enhance RNOH patients' experience.
