Opposite:    The  ARCHIE  FoundaOon  enjoys  a  high  level  of  community  support  with  fundraisers  doing  many  incredible  challenges  to  further  our  work.  The  picture  opposite  shows  sunrise  over  the  ScoVsh  Mountains  and  was  taken  by  a  group  aXempOng  to  climb  all  130  of  Scotland’s  mountains  over  1KM  high  in  a  non-­‐stop  relay  in  May/June  2015.    

We  are  currently  seeking  sponsorship  support  for:    1.  The  Royal  Aberdeen  Children’s  Hospital,  which  is  now  ten  years  old.  Sponsorship  

opportuniOes  will  last,  at  the  very  least,  unOl  the  hospital  turns  20  years  old  in  2024.    2.  The  Highland  Children’s  Unit  –  a  new  build  in  Inverness  to  enhance  care  for  children  from  

throughout  the  Highlands.    3.  The  ARCHIE  Surgical  Unit  in  Uganda  –  a  new  facility  recently  opened  that  is  the  first  of  it’s  

kind  in  Uganda.    

welcome Every   year   The   ARCHIE   FoundaOon   is   called   upon   to  make   the   difference   for  nearly  175,000  sick  children   in  Scotland,  many  from  some  of   the  most  remote  communiOes  in  Europe.      We  do  this  by  transforming  the  healthcare  environments  children  are  treated  in;  providing  highly   trained  specialist   staff;  caring   for   the   families  of   sick  children;  purchasing  advanced  medical  equipment;  and,  of  course,  providing  lots  of  toys  and  entertainment.      We   also   strive   to   make   the   difference   tomorrow   too   through   our   research  programme   and   our   early   intervenOon   healthcare   acOviOes   run   in   our   two  family  cafes.        InternaOonally,   The  ARCHIE   FoundaOon   is   also  making  a   significant  difference.  The  charity’s  twinning  of  the  Royal  Aberdeen  Children’s  Hospital  with  children’s  services   in   Uganda   resulted   in   the   first   ever   dedicated   children’s   operaOng  theatre  opening  in  the  East  African  country  in  April  this  year.      None   of   this   is   possible   without   the   support   of   our   donors.   You   change  children’s  lives  –  we  just  get  to  organize  it  for  you.  And  for  that,  I  cannot  thank  you  enough.

Patient Rooms

There   are   nearly   8,000   in-­‐paOents   in   the   Royal   Aberdeen   Children’s   Hospital  every  year.  The  hospital  is  the  ‘hub’  of  all  child  health  in  the  North  of  Scotland  and  treats  the  most  poorly  children  from  throughout  the  region.  Many  children  will  be  paOents   in   the  hospital   for   several  weeks  and  months.  Those   receiving  treatment   for   childhood   cancers  will   ohen   stay   in   the   hospital   for  more   than  two  years.      As  such  we  are  aiming  to  refurbish  every  paOent’s  room  in  the  hospital  so  it   is  more  homely  and  less  clinical.  We  want  children  to  be  able  to  personalize  their  rooms,  make  it  a  space  that  they  are  able  to  relax  in  and  make  their  own.  In  our  research,  teenagers  especially  told  us  Ome  and  again  that  the  rooms  were  too  clinical  and  acted  as  a  constant  reminder  of  how  sick  they  actually  were.

Family Centre

The   ARCHIE   FoundaOon   runs   a   family   centre   within   the   children’s   hospital   in  Aberdeen   where   there   are   kitchen   faciliOes,   lounges,   quiet   spaces   and   20  bedrooms  to  ensure  parents  can  stay  close  to  their  sick  children.  These  faciliOes  are  provided  free  of  charge  for  as  long  as  they  are  needed.    The  unit   is   run  by  Lynn,  our  Family  Support  Worker,  and  a  team  of  volunteers  who  are  on  hand  to  make  sure  worried  families  can  focus  on  their  sick  child.    In  our  Family  Centre  we  are  looking  for  help  to  redevelop  the  20  en-­‐suite  rooms  within  the  unit.  Each  will  have  a  full   refurbishment   including  a  new  bathroom,  fiVngs  and  furniture,  and  general  decoraOon.

Play

Play   and   recreaOon   are   at   the   heart   of   everything   we   do   at   the   children’s  hospital.  The  ARCHIE  FoundaOon  funds  a  special  play   leader  post  to  work  with  children  –  especially  those  who  are  struggling  with  their  stay  in  hospital.      The   main   play   area   within   the   hospital   is   much   loved   by   the   thousands   of  children  who  have  used  it,  but  it  is  in  desperate  need  of  refurbishment.    At   the   heart   of   the   hospital,   the  main   play   space   is   one  of   the   charity’s  most  heavily   used   faciliOes   and   the   upgrade   will   bring   in   new   technology,   provide  faciliOes   for  older   children  and  create  a   supporOve  environment   for   short  and  long-­‐term  paOents  alike.

5 bed bay

Not   all   children   in   the   hospital   have   their   own   room,  many   prefer   to   be   in   a  slightly  more  social  space  and  longer-­‐term  paOents  may  spend  some  Ome  in  this  more   social   context   and   have   their   own   individual   room.   Families   can   also  benefit   from   the   interacOon   with   other   parents   and   long-­‐term   paOents   can  benefit  from  moving  to  a  bay  before  going  home.      There  are  4,  5-­‐bed  bays  in  the  Royal  Aberdeen  Children’s  Hospital  and  we  hope  to  redevelop  all  of  them.  Improving  faciliOes  for  the  children  and  their  parents.  Bringing  much  of  the  design  and  capacity  to  personalize  that  we  will  achieve  in  the  single  rooms  into  these  spaces.

Highland Children’s UNit

The  Highland  Region  is  one  of  the  most  remote  of  any  community  in  the  whole  of   Europe.   Covering   an   area   bigger   than   Belgium,   it’s   main   town,   Inverness,  holds  the  majority  of  the  region’s  populaOon.      However,  many  small  communiOes  do  cover  the  area  and  children  ohen  travel  for  many  hours  to  reach  the  Children’s  Ward  in  Raigmore  Hospital,  Inverness.      To   transform   that   experience,   and   bring   many   children’s   specialOes   together  into   one   place,   The   ARCHIE   FoundaOon   is   fundraising   to   create   the   Highland  Children’s  Unit  –  an  excepOonal  new  facility  for  the  children  of  the  Highlands  of  Scotland.

Patient Rooms

The  new  Highland  Children’s  Unit  will  have  29  beds  with  the  majority  of  these  being  in  private,  individual  rooms.  Each  room  will  be  en-­‐suite  with  faciliOes  for  parents  to  sleep  beside  their  child.      The   rooms  will   follow   the   same   specificaOon   as   those   in   the   Royal   Aberdeen  Children’s   Hospital   and   will   be   developed   to   ensure   children   feel   at   home,  relaxed  and  supported  no  maXer  how  long  they  are  in  hospital  for.
