⛳️🏌️‍♂️What a fantastic day we had at Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Course for our Annual Golf Day!🏌️‍♀️⛳️

The day kicked off with a hearty breakfast, before our teams headed out for the shotgun start! Everyone enjoyed a brilliant round of golf, with exciting opportunities to win prizes, including an Audi A1. Unfortunately, none of our players was quite lucky this time.

After a great afternoon on the course, everyone tucked into a delicious BBQ before we moved on to the awards presentation, auction, and our fantastic raffle draw✨

A huge thank you to all of our incredible prize donors and sponsors for your generosity. Your support helped make the day extra special.

Congratulations to our overall winners of the day, team Worley! A fantastic achievement. We’d also like to say a massive thank you to Euan Duff Photography for joining us on the day and capturing so many amazing moments 📸

Thank you to all the teams who took part and supported the event. Days like this are so important in helping us continue supporting babies, children, and families facing medical struggles and bereavement💙

Meet our Kiltwalkers 💙

Next up in our staff spotlight series is Aleysha, who is taking on the Kiltwalk for the very first time this year!

Aleysha is a Bereavement Support Worker at The Archie Foundation, supporting children who have experienced the bereavement of someone close to them, both in schools and at home. Before joining Archie, she worked as a primary teacher for eight years and even taught abroad in Abu Dhabi.

When asked why she decided to take part in the Kiltwalk, Aleysha said:

“I decided to take part in the Kiltwalk this year for the first time as I see firsthand through my role the difference Archie makes to children and young people. I saw this as an opportunity to make a difference.”

Aleysha is especially looking forward to walking alongside her colleagues Jenny and Cath:

“We are such a strong, supportive team and I know we will encourage each other as well as having some laughs along the way.”

She also shared what Archie means to her personally:

“Archie Foundation to me means making a difference. In challenging times for children and families, Archie are a fantastic source of support in so many ways. My role is so rewarding and knowing I’m there to support children with their grief and emotions and make things even a little bit easier for them is a real privilege.”

“Fundraising events like the Kiltwalk are important as they’re an opportunity for us to raise awareness about The Archie Foundation and the wonderful work we do. It’s also a chance for people to give back to this amazing charity that I feel lucky to work for.”
