The Archie Foundation Tayside

18/06/2026

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! 🌸☘️💕💚

As part of our Charity of the Year partnership, Johnston Carmichael's support is helping The Archie Foundation continue to make a real difference for children and families across Tayside. These wonderful sensory additions will help transform the outdoor space at Glenlaw House, creating even more opportunities for children accessing respite care to play, explore and relax in a nurturing environment.

A huge thank you to Johnston Carmichael and Dobbies for helping us make the difference for local children and families. 🥰👏🙌

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
