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.

💙A huge thank you to Duncan and ADG Specialist Ltd!💙

We’re incredibly grateful to ADG Specialist Ltd for their continued support of The Archie Foundation over the past three years🙌

This fantastic company has gone above and beyond, making multiple unrestricted donations each year to support Archie’s vital services and initiatives. This type of flexible funding is so important, allowing us to respond where the need is greatest and support babies, children and families when they need it most.

It was a real pleasure to finally meet Duncan in person this year and of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to capture the moment with a photo alongside the latest generous donation of £1,540📸

In total, ADG Specialist Ltd have now donated an incredible £17,300 to Archie🌟

A heartfelt thank you to ADG Specialist Ltd. This generosity is making a genuine difference, helping us continue our mission to support babies, children and families facing medical struggles and bereavement.

A massive well done to Lewis and Angus for completing Marathon March! 👏💛

Over 31 days, these two superstars walked to school 17 times, completed 4 Inverurie Junior Parkruns, explored beaches, parks, and even the zoo! Some walks were solo adventures, and others shared with friends and family.

Their determination and energy are inspiring, and the fundraising they did will make a real difference to the children and families supported by The Archie Foundation.

Thank you, Lewis and Angus, for your amazing efforts! 🌟

Looking for a speaker for your group or event?💙

At Archie, we absolutely love getting out into the community and connecting with local groups to share our story. From how the charity began to the impact we make every day, our talks are a great way to learn more about the support we provide to babies, children, and families across the north of Scotland.

We’re always delighted to visit a wide range of groups, including Women’s Institutes, over 50s groups, community clubs, and more. Every invitation means so much to us, and we’ll always do our very best to have someone attend.

Our sessions are engaging, informative, and a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more, and see how you can even get involved✨

If you’d like to find out more or have a date to fill, please get in touch at hello@archie.org, we’d love to hear from you!

A huge thank you to Alfie and Ayden, who visited us with their mum Kelly to donate a wonderful collection of toys, arts and crafts for children at RACH 💙

The boys worked incredibly hard to make this happen, baking delicious chocolate crispies for a bake sale and running a lucky squares competition to raise money. They then used the funds to carefully choose items that will help keep children busy, creative and smiling during their time in hospital.

What an amazing effort from two very thoughtful young fundraisers! Your kindness will make such a difference to the children and families we support.

Thank you, Alfie and Ayden! You should be very proud of yourselves 🌟

Sadly, we live in a time where many children experience bereavement, whether through the loss of a parent or another close family member. This is exactly why Archie’s Child Bereavement Service exists, to support children and families through one of the most difficult times they may ever face💙

Our service offers compassionate, tailored support, including guidance for families, bereavement books, resources, and activity days that help children feel less alone in their grief.

This support is available across all areas covered by Archie, with dedicated Bereavement Workers based at our headquarters in Aberdeen, as well as in our offices across the Highlands and Tayside.

You don’t have to go through this alone. We’re here to support you and your family🤍

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💙

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.
