We are Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity. We believe no child should face hospital alone.We’re here to support the life-changing work of Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Children and Young People. You will recognise us around the hospital from our red t-shirts!
Every day, 500 seriously ill children and their families visit the hospital. And every day, they inspire us to make those visits as positive as possible. We offer daily fun activities to keep you busy and make sure you don’t miss out on what you like to do.

If you can leave the ward, pop down to our Hub in the Family Support Corridor on the ground floor: a space for playing, chatting and relaxing. Our team is ready to welcome you with a cuppa and a biscuit, and can support on the good days, the bad days and everything in between. If you’re feeling anxious, lonely, or just need a listening ear, our Family Support team is with you all the way. We can help you find the right support in the hospital and back home.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you have the best visit that you can.
