The Inverness Courier has teamed up with The ARCHIE Foundation in an ambitious £1 million fund-raising appeal to develop a new children’s ward at Raigmore Hospital.

The aim is to transform the existing department into a world-class centre for sick children within two years.

The work will involve a radical redesign to create give a more co-ordinated and focused layout with a child-centred and family-friendly environment, improved facilities, more support for families and more cutting-edge equipment.

Each day, between 40 and 50 children - from babies to teenagers - come through the doors of the children’s ward.

They come from all over the Highlands - Inverness, Nairn, Aviemore, Fort William, Skye and Wick, as well as the Western Isles.

Individuals, organisations and businesses across the Highlands are also invited to get behind the appeal. Every little helps.

Are you staging a fund-raising event? If so, contact us and we will let everyone know.
