Transforming experiences and outcomes for babies, children and their families.
(1)

Making the Difference’ for close to 100,000 patients every year, the ARCHIE Foundation provides all of the extras that allow an enhanced level of care for local children. We provide key staff posts such as the ARCHIE Specialist Nurse, the ARCHIE Play Leader and the ARCHIE Family Support Worker. We buy life changing medical equipment and fund specialist training to ensure the local healthcare teams can always provide the most up-to-date and high quality care. We buy toys, books and computer games, run art workshops and provide musical concerts in the hospital – often at the bedside of children who are too sick to come to our communal play areas.

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Tribe Aberdeen to the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital for a very special Easter egg drop off ☀️🐣

While it was a cold morning, we were treated to some lovely sunshine as the bikes arrived, bringing with them a real sense of excitement. Lots of children and staff made their way to the windows to watch, and there were plenty of smiles as the Easter Bunny made an appearance too.

In total, around 1200 Easter eggs were donated through this fantastic community effort, with support from Men’s Shed Bucksburn. Alongside the eggs, the group also thoughtfully included activity packs, cuddly toys and games for children and babies who are unable to have chocolate, which was so appreciated.

Some of the eggs and activity packs from this donation were also shared with the Aberdeen Neonatal Unit, where families and siblings will be able to enjoy them over Easter Sunday.

It was such a fun and uplifting morning, and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved for making it happen 💛

🍰🍲A huge thank you to the Reid family and Fraserburgh Baptist Church!🍲🍰

We’re so grateful to everyone involved in organising the fantastic “Soup & Sweet” fundraiser in support of Archie and the Fraserburgh Children’s Unit.

For those not familiar, a “Soup & Sweet” is a much-loved local event where the community comes together to enjoy a hearty bowl of soup followed by a delicious pudding, and this one certainly didn’t disappoint! With over 10 soups and more than 20 puddings to choose from, there truly was something for everyone✨

The day wasn’t just about having a lovely lunch, there were also homebakes, handmade cards, and Archie merchandise available, creating a wonderful atmosphere and a real sense of community spirit.

Thanks to the incredible support from everyone involved, an amazing £1,166.54 was raised!

Thank you to all who organised, donated, baked, and came along to support, it really does make such a difference. We can’t wait to see more “Soup & Sweet” events in the future!💙

🐣💙Happy Easter from all of us at Archie!💙🐣

Our Easter Bunnies had a fantastic time visiting the hospital on Friday, spreading smiles and a little bit of magic along the way. From activity packs and teddies to chocolate eggs and beautifully knitted and crocheted gifts, there was something special for every child🐰

It was so lovely to see children choosing their own keepsakes from the trolley and seeing all the big smiles on the day said it all✨

A special shoutout to the Aberdeen Lynx Ice Hockey Team, the bunny teddies were part of their incredible Teddy Bear Toss back in December, and they've helped continue to bring comfort to children over the last 5 months🏒

Thank you so much to everyone who donated, supported, and helped make Easter at NHS Grampian RACH so memorable. Your kindness truly makes a difference💙

A huge thank you to JBS!💜

We’re incredibly grateful to JBS for kindly allowing The Archie Foundation to use their suite at P&J Live to see a performance of Gabby's Dollhouse🐾

Five wonderful families got to experience what can only be described as an a-MEOW-zing experience! From the moment Gabby and her friends set off to fix the broken rainbow, there were smiles and so much excitement throughout 🌈

It was truly special to see the children fully immersed in the show, dancing and watching in awe. These are the kinds of experiences that create lasting memories for families.

We absolutely love being able to provide opportunities like this, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of supporters like JBS. Thank you again for helping us make such a difference💙

🐣💙A heartfelt thank you to our incredible supporters!💙🐣

We have been truly overwhelmed by the generosity shown by businesses and individuals who supported The Archie Foundation and RACH during our Easter Appeal. Your kindness has helped spread so much joy throughout the hospital, not only to patients, but also to families, siblings, and staff across the many wards and departments we support✨

Because of you all, we’ve been able to reach even more children, offering small moments of happiness and comfort during what can often be very difficult times💛

Just take a look at the amazing collection of Easter eggs we received, we can’t thank you all enough! 🍫

Every donation has made a real difference, and we are so grateful for the continued support from our community. A huge thank you goes out to Aberdeen Funeral Directors, Causewayend, Altrad, Balfour Beatty, Brio Retirement Living, Dignity Funerals, Gordon & Watson Funeral Directors, Aberdeen, Careers at Kier, Marischal Square Businesses, PwC, Snap Fitness Aberdeen, Pillar of Hope, St. James's Place, Sureserve, Woodlands Care Home, Wren Sterling, and Tesco Banchory💙

🐣💙A huge thank you to the Caterers Offshore Trade Association (COTA) companies!💙🐣

We were blown away by the incredible support shown to The Archie Foundation and The Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital during our Easter Appeal from COTA. Just look at the amazing number of eggs donated! 🍫

COTA, which represents companies supplying catering and support services to offshore rigs in the North Sea, truly went above and beyond. We were delighted to welcome representatives, including Daniel Moloney (Compass), Leanne Mitchell and Joe Patton (Aramark), Stuart Hunter (COTA Branch Chair), Graeme Neish (COTA Learning Rep), and Lynne George (Entier), alongside generous donations from RMT Union and Unite the Union🙌

A very special mention also goes to Ivy, who, at just 5 years old, created and donated the beautiful Easter activity bags to support her mum’s workplace efforts. Such a thoughtful and inspiring contribution!

Thanks to this wonderful generosity, our Easter Appeal brought so much joy to children and families in RACH over the Easter period. We are so grateful to everyone involved💙

💙A huge congratulations to the Uzowulu family!💙

Yesterday, brothers Daniel and David completed an incredible running challenge and what a journey it has been!🏃‍♂️

At the start of the year, Daniel (11) set himself a goal to fundraise for Archie. Inspired by his own experience, when his mum was able to stay at the Archie Family Centre while his brother David (16) was in hospital, he wanted to give back and help other families.

Despite not being a fan of running at first, Daniel pushed himself to take on a 10 day running challenge, and it quickly grew! With David joining him, the pair became an unstoppable duo. Together, they shared their story, promoted their fundraising page, and inspired so many people to get involved, even their school, International School Aberdeen, supported them during this journey!

Behind them, every step of the way was their incredible support network. From their mum Cynthia’s daily updates, to family and friends cheering them on, the encouragement was truly amazing 🙌

Their final day saw them complete a 5K at NHS Grampian's Royal Aberdeen Children's Hopsital, crossing the finish line surrounded by loved ones, Archie staff, and supporters. It was a fantastic moment and such a privilege to be part of their journey.

Together, they have raised an outstanding £2,170! Enough to fund 86 nights in the Archie Family Centre, helping parents stay close to their children during hospital stays.

A huge thank you to Daniel and David Uzowulu. We’ve loved watching your idea grow into something so powerful, and we are incredibly grateful for your support 💙

💍🤍Huge congratulations to Hayley & Gordon!🤍💍

In 2025, this wonderful couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony, and we were so honoured to be part of their special day.

Instead of traditional favours, Hayley and Gordon chose to support Archie by including our signature Archie teddy bears for the children and pin badges for the adults. A truly thoughtful touch that made their favours even more meaningful.

Their decision to support Archie was inspired by their friends son, Euan, who has received support from us, and the couple mentioned how special it was to see all the children enjoying their Archie teddies on the day.

If you’d like to find out more about our wedding favours and how your big day can make a difference to Archie, please email hello@archie.org, we’d love to hear from you!💌
