We’re @COSLA Conference (stand 13, Winter Garden) looking forward to talking to delegates about our work to support children’s mental health in #RHCYP@LothianChildren hospital in the @echcharity#TheHub, and in the community at #TheHaven If you’re here, come see us!
This is an amazing joint venture between @echcharity and @EdinburghZoo hopefully bringing a smile and some wildlife eduction directly to kids in Edinburgh Children’s hospital. You can support and win the ultimate brownie points prize for your young loved ones below👇🏻
“This Christmas, I just want to be better.” Thanks Noah for sharing your letter to Santa with us, we’ll see what the wonderful supporters of @echcharity can do ❤️
Money raised this evening allows @echcharity to fund such things as our arts programme. And that allows Rhys from @_Tinderbox to work with young people like the amazing Kieran who now performs his own music, written whilst in hospital ❤️
#AskDontGuess❤️ We always ask our experts! Children &young people are at the heart of everything we do. Our #LGBTCharter journey is no different.
Work is underway with our Youth Group on a new campaign challenging health professionals to be more inclusive. Watch this space! 👀🏳️🌈
Today our @echcharity Children’s Wellbeing Team collected the views of children & young people who attend the GI/IBD clinics at #RHCYP@LothianChildren We will turn this into a programme of wellbeing supports that children & young people have designed, want and need ❤️
We are THRILLED to have won the People's Choice award at @scvotweet#ScottishCharityAwards!! 🏆🎉
ENORMOUS thanks to everyone who voted for us & to our incredible supporters, partners, staff & volunteers for your dedication to helping children and families. This one's for you. ♥
Great to see our Hub Team offering @LothianChildren staff wellbeing workshops, including this arts one. Even the most positive embracers of change are bound to be finding the move a little unsettling; time out and a change of focus is good for wellbeing ❤️ #MoreThanAHospital
Olly is leaving a light on for all the children, young people, families & staff spending their last night at the Sick Kids tonight. 🐙❤️
Get a good rest and sleep tight everyone - tomorrow we move!
#MoreThanAHospital
The appearance of Olly the Octopus at the Sick Kids today has left bosses bamboozled. 🐙
ECHC CEO @neely_r thinks Olly must have sensed how much love & care there is in the building & settled in, so we've decided to let him stay for good! ❤️

We know how powerful singing can be as a way to bring people together.
We called on our friends at the Sick Kids hospital & made this virtual choir to show when times are hard, you can lean on us.
Please RETWEET to spread joy as we all help each other through. ❤️
#LeanOnUs
I can’t imagine how tough it is for children having to ‘shield’ indoors for twelve weeks. If you’re able, a donation to @echcharity will help us to keep delivering essentials, arts, crafts, activities and toys to children’s doorsteps, bringing some welcome distraction and cheer
Incredibly proud of all the hard work from my awesome team @LisaHannahThom @imogenreiter @GilliGoup & @HannahLBradley_we can’t wait time bring our last performance of the years #PantoPresents to @echcharity on Monday #Arts4All
Well chuffed to win Highly Commended in the @The_IoD awards for the UK Charity Director of the Year. Great recognition for the awesome Team @echcharity You are amazing! Highlight of the night though...a wee selfie with legendary Sir Trevor MacDonald! He was so pleased to meet me!
Today (at our soon to be new home) we received a very special gift from @musselburgh2016! We're sure the children and young people who will visit The RHCYP will enjoy designing her a beautiful horse blanket. Now, we just need to decide what to call her...
