Tom Simons
Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity
His involvement is driven by a deeply personal connection to the cause. Following the loss of his close friend, Technoblade, to cancer in 2022, TommyInnit was motivated to use his global platform to raise awareness and funds for children’s cancer care. This made his support of GOSH Charity’s Build it. Beat it. Appeal - to raise £300 million for a new Children’s Cancer Centre -both genuine and impactful.
TommyInnit’s contribution extended far beyond endorsement. He co-shaped and hosted GOSH Charity’s first-ever livestreamed fundraiser, The Curious Case of the Copper Key, a four-hour interactive ‘whodunnit’ that gamified giving and kept audiences participating in real time. He invested significant time in planning, creative development, promotion and used his influence to bring together an incredible line-up of creators and celebrity supporters including MatPat, Max Fosh and surprise guest appearances from Gordon Ramsey, Hollywood star Karen Gillan to Jason Isaacs..
The impact was substantial. The single event raised close to £500,000 and reached a potential audience of over 27 million subscribers across multiple platforms. Crucially it positioned GOSH Charity as a credible, creative player in digital first fundraising and opened lasting routes into creator and platform partnerships.
