Get your free ECHC teddy bear
And help tackle loneliness for children in hospital.
Your support matters
Every day, 500 seriously ill children and their families arrive at Edinburgh Children’s Hospital facing uncertainty and potentially life-changing news.
Children tell us that being in hospital can feel lonely and frightening – they often feel left out from friends, school and normal life. Parents tell us how isolating it can be too, carrying worry, guilt and exhaustion on their own.
This is where you come in. Together, we can change this. Sign up now, and you and your bear can help make this loneliness a thing of the past.
More than just a teddy bear
A teddy bear can be a source of comfort when things feel uncertain. For children in hospital, that feeling of comfort, reassurance and companionship can make a real difference.
That’s why we’re sending you a teddy bear. It’s our way of thanking you for standing with children and families facing life-changing hospital stays.
Your bear is a symbol of something bigger: a community coming together so children feel less alone.
How your ECHC bear helps
By claiming your teddy, you’re taking the first step towards helping children and families facing life-changing hospital stays. A member of our team will be in touch with information about how you can get involved and help ensure no child faces hospital alone.
