Nathan and Jenny had the most fantastic time visiting Summers Nursery in Aberdeen for their cheque presentation celebration, where representatives from all 5 nursery locations came together to mark an incredible year of fundraising!🩵

We are so grateful to have been chosen as their Charity of the Year for 2025. The nurseries chose to fundraise to directly support Archie’s Child Bereavement Service, helping children and families navigate the heartbreak of loss🪁

After a staff member sadly lost her husband, the service was there to support the entire family during such a difficult time. Seeing first-hand the impact this support had, the nursery teams were shown just how vital this service is within our community.

The 5 nurseries were absolutely incredible with their fundraising efforts throughout the year, taking part in the Kiltwalk, hosting coffee mornings, and getting families and local communities involved every step of the way✨

A huge thank you to everyone at Summers Nursery for your continued and unwavering support. We are so incredibly grateful, and together we're delighted to announce that they raised an amazing £16,200.48!! 🎉

We’re also delighted to share that Summers Nursery will be supporting Archie once again this year, this time fundraising for Neonatal Services.

🚭 Today is World No To***co Day 🚭

The day was first established to raise awareness of the dangers of to***co and ni****ne use, today it highlights the importance of creating healthier environments for everyone.

At The Archie Foundation, we continuously saw the negative impact of smoking outside healthcare settings. That’s why we were incredibly proud to install the “No Smoking Buzzer” at NHS Grampian RACH in 2024🏥

The buzzer was introduced to encourage people not to smoke outside the hospital entrance, not only for health reasons, but also because smoking on hospital grounds goes against the law.

Our amazing Project Coordinator, Sarah, worked hard to source and develop the buzzer, which has now been in place for almost two years with really positive results✨

Now, when someone is smoking outside the hospital entrance, the buzzer can be pressed, and prerecorded messages politely ask people not to smoke near the doors. One of the most special parts of the project was working with eight pupils from P1–P5 at Meiklemill School in Ellon. The children created and recorded the messages played through the buzzer.

Thanks to the success of the project, we’re delighted to announce that a second buzzer will soon be installed in Children’s A&E, with the hope of achieving the same positive impact in reducing smoking near the entrance💙

💜 Tiny cuddles, huge benefits 💜

Earlier this month, Aberdeen Neonatal Unit celebrated World Kangaroo Care Day, highlighting the powerful impact of skin-to-skin contact for babies and their families.

Kangaroo care provides comfort, promotes bonding, and supports the health and development of babies receiving neonatal care.

To help mark the occasion, we were delighted to gift every baby on the unit an Archie Bear. 🧸

We are proud to support the incredible families and staff who make moments like these possible, helping create precious connections when they matter most.

⛳️🏌️‍♂️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 📸
