We are the official charity of the Neonatal Unit at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, supporting babies born too sick or too soon.

All of the money that is donated and fundraised for Archie at The Neonatal unit goes back into the Unit. We have helped provide enhanced medical equipment, pediatric training & research, and family support for the parents and carers whose babies are in the unit.

Why I took part in Prematuri-tea: Clar's story 💜

From those first weeks in neonatal care to seeing Isabella grow today, every family's journey is unique. For one of our wonderful supporters, Clar, organising a Prematuri-tea was a way to give something back to the people who supported her family along the way.

Reflecting on her experience, she shared:

“Organising the Prematuri-tea in the office last year was so heart-warming. We had so many people who were willing to donate cakes for the sale, donate their time to help on the day with setting up and chat to folks about their own experience.

The Prematuri-tea was my way of saying thanks to the Neonatal team and the Archie Foundation for all their help and support while Isabella was in neonatal for 4 weeks. Everyone was so reassuring and nothing was ever too much. We cannot thank the nurses in neonatal enough”

Stories like Isabella's remind us why supporting neonatal families matters, and how a simple cup of tea and slice of cake can make a difference 💜

Could you host a Prematuri-tea this November?

Whether it's a bake sale at work, an afternoon tea with friends or a cuppa with your community, you can help The Archie Foundation support babies and families receiving neonatal care across the North of Scotland.

Every cup of tea, slice of cake and donation can help make an incredibly difficult time a little easier for families with a premature or poorly baby 💜
