The hospital is "fully" funded, which means they pay for doctors and treatments and stuff, but most (maybe all) UK hospitals have a charity arm that pays for some extras, like refurbishment of rest and waiting areas and things like toys for kids to play with.
Because Great Ormond Street is the UKs top children's hospital, kids get referred there from all over the country so their charity also fund places for families to stay nearby and sometimes pay for travel.
Great Ormond Street's charity raises enough money to also make grants for research into childhood disease and stuff.
