The Archie Foundation

Transforming experiences and outcomes for babies, children and their families.

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.

🎄🎁On the 21st day of Christmas, Archie received a very special gift🎁🎄

Thanks to the incredible generosity of an anonymous donor (who will soon be revealed), Archie received funding to provide Christmas gifts for children receiving homecare💙

Not all children supported by Archie are in the hospital. Because of this sponsorship, we’ve been able to deliver festive gifts to homecare patients, ensuring they are included in the magic of Archie's Advent Christmas✨

At Archie, we do everything we can to help children create happy memories. Being able to offer a little festive pick-me-up to children at home truly means the world🌟

A huge thank you to this wonderful donor, this generosity has made a vital and lasting impact this holiday season💚

When a baby or child is rushed to hospital, their parents and family want to stay as close to them as possible. Those who live far from the hospital are faced with the truly difficult choice of paying rising hotel bills, or returning home and leaving their child alone on the ward.

The Archie Family Centre in Aberdeen allows parents to stay close to their child in hospital when they are needed the most. From those flying down from Shetland for treatment, to those blue-lighted in from Banchory - we are here with a bed, shower and kitchen facilities to help take away that worry.

A gift of £25 would allow us to offer a free nights accommodation to a family when they really need it - will you help us by sponsoring a room this Christmas? 💙

Thank you so much for helping us make sure there is room at the inn!

💙👶On the 20th day of Christmas, HCS gave something truly special to Archie👶💙

This Christmas, HCS has funded our Neonatal Counsellor for an entire month, providing vital emotional support to families in the Aberdeen Neonatal Unit.

A baby’s first Christmas should be filled with joy, but for some parents, it’s spent at their baby’s cot side during one of the most challenging times of their lives. Thanks to this support, parents and families have the chance to talk, process what they’re going through, and feel less alone💙

We are incredibly grateful to HCS for supporting the Neonatal Unit this December. This funding makes a real difference, offering comfort and care when it’s needed most.

Interested in getting involved with Archie through sponsorship opportunities? Please email us at hello@archie.org 💌

Many children across north Scotland will be facing their first Christmas without a parent or loved one. Archie's Child Bereavement Service is here for those children - whether with practical advice and support, with books and tools to help process big feelings - or simply to be there to listen.

Our specially written books can help guide children through the grieving process - and our Archie Child Bereavement Service is always there over the Christmas period.

A gift of £100 can allow us to keep offering support free and quickly - will you help us be there for every child who needs us? 💙

Thank you so much for your help - and if you know a child who needs to access Archie's Child Bereavement Service, please do call our confidential helpline: 01224 554152

Our friends at Aberdeen Performing Arts sent us this wonderful message to all the babies, families and NHS staff at the Aberdeen Neonatal Unit 💜

The Christmas Panto at His Majesty’s Theatre is a longstanding festive tradition, and every year the Panto Cast visit or send messages of joy to Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital – and when they are able, they love to visit the neo-natal unit too!

Thank you so much for sending this lovely message to all the babies and families celebrating their very first Christmas - we appreciate you so much (Oh Yes We Do!)

🎄🐻On the 19th day of Christmas, Aberdeen Lynx Ice Hockey Team delivered something truly special!🐻🎄

An incredible 438 cuddly teddies were donated to Archie through their annual teddy bear toss. Santa’s little helpers had the best time visiting each department and handing out these lovely bears ✨

We were sad that the Lynx players themselves couldn’t visit in person this year to hand them out. However, we’re already looking forward to welcoming them for a future visit very soon 🏒

The children were so excited to choose their very own teddy, and their smiles said it all. We are incredibly grateful to Aberdeen Lynx for making this magical experience possible.

A huge thank you to every fan who brought along a teddy to throw onto the ice. Your generosity helped create such special moments and brought joy to so many today 💙

🎄🎭On the 18th day of Christmas, Aberdeen Performing Arts very kindly gifted glow wands to RACH, along with specially recorded messages from the panto cast for children in hospital🎭🎄

We were really sad that the panto cast couldn't visit in person this year to deliver these. However, they recorded some beautiful messages and the wonderful play team called on Santa to deliver their gifts! 💙

The children had such a lovely time receiving their light-up wands, whether it was a rose, a star or even a dragon version! ✨

A huge thank you to the incredible generosity of Aberdeen Performing Arts and this year’s panto cast for making a special effort despite difficult circumstances. The children really appreciated your special messages 🎅
