Making a difference for children living with cancer
Tagged by
A special trip was organised for young people aged 13 to 18 who are undergoing treatment for cancer at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.
The trip was more than just a getaway, it provided a safe space for these young individuals to connect, share their treatment journeys, build confidence, and foster independence.
From high ropes to archery, the itinerary was packed with activities aimed at fostering teamwork and creating cherished memories. Feedback from the young people was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the opportunity to connect with others and try new experiences.
The connections forged, laughter shared, and the memories created serve as a testament to the resilience and strength of these young people.

Enhancing the Patient Experience at East Lothian Community Hospital

We were delighted to support the creation of a dedicated office space registrar doctors in the Oncology department at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh to help improve team dynamics, collaboration, morale and overall wellbeing.
Reducing the Environmental Impact of Respiratory Care
Respiratory disease is very common, but the treatment often increases carbon emissions, exacerbating respiratory conditions. Thanks to funding from our Climate Challenge Grants, NHS Lothian staff are reducing waste, and carbon emissions.
Adventures That Make a Difference
We are delighted to support staff as they organise outings and activities that make a difference for patients receiving care for mental health.
