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.

We are incredibly grateful to the amazing people who choose to fundraise for The Archie Foundation in their own unique ways.

Recently, Emma organised a fantastic Zumbathon, bringing together a room full of energy, enthusiasm and generosity to raise funds for both The Archie Foundation and Andy's Man Club.

Reflecting on the day, Emma said:

"The day went very well, everyone was full of energy and everyone was very generous, raising £850 between the two charities."

What an incredible achievement! 👏

Whether it's a Zumbathon, a bake sale, a sponsored challenge or something completely different, every fundraiser helps us continue supporting local babies, children and families when they need it most.

Thank you, Emma, and thank you to everyone who took part and donated. Together, you're making a real difference. 💙

Thanks to the incredible support of our Charity of the Year partners, Johnston Carmichael Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers Dundee, the Glenlaw House team spent a fantastic morning at Dobbies Dundee shopping for new resources to enhance their garden space after winning a place in the Dobbies Community Garden Initiative! 🌸☘️💕💚

Rounding off our Staff Kiltwalk Spotlight series is Reti, our Senior Fundraising Officer, who will be taking on the Dundee Kiltwalk this August alongside her family to raise funds for The Archie Foundation 💙

"I simply can't wait to walk together with my family and meet people who are all taking on Kiltwalk for their own personal reasons and the meaning behind them." As both a fundraiser and a volunteer, she sees first-hand the difference our supporters make to families facing some of life's toughest moments. This year's walk is especially meaningful, as she and her family will be raising funds for the Aberdeen Neonatal Unit.

"Kiltwalk is incredible for raising awareness of so many amazing charities, but it's also about bringing thousands of people together with one common goal: supporting others. I also love how inclusive it is and that I can take part with my children."

Thinking about joining Team Archie for Dundee Kiltwalk? There is still time to sign up and help make a difference for local babies, children and families.
📍 Dundee – 16 August
📍 Edinburgh – 13 September

You are making a real difference, and we are so, so proud to have you as part of Team Archie. 💙

Help us build a multilingual baby book library for the Aberdeen Neonatal Unit 💙

We are looking for donations of new or gently loved children's books that are suitable for reading to babies and are written in languages other than English.

For many families with a baby receiving care in the neonatal unit, hearing a parent's voice reading a story can be incredibly comforting and helps support bonding during a difficult time. We'd love to be able to offer books that reflect the many languages and cultures of the families cared for in the neonatal unit.

If you have any baby friendly books in languages such as Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Ukrainian, Mandarin, Urdu, Gaelic, or any other language, we would be so grateful for your support.

✨ We are looking for:

New or gently used books
Suitable for babies and young children
Written in languages other than English
Clean and in good condition

Every donated book will help create precious moments of connection between babies and their families. ❤️

If you would like to donate or have any questions, please get in touch with us at [email protected]
