Impact Report
Today, more than 500 babies, children and young people will be treated at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow – Scotland’s biggest and busiest children’s hospital.
We exist to support these young patients and their families by making sure they have the best possible care and experience in hospital.

Together with your help, we can ensure that the care they receive is second-to-none by funding:
- Enhanced Medical Equipment - giving medical staff the resources they need to deliver the highest standard of care
- Paediatric Research - striving for the best medical outcomes for children today, tomorrow and for generations to come
- Family Support Services - providing invaluable support to children and their families in hospital during some of the most difficult times of their lives
- Hospital Play & Events Programmes - bringing joy, laughter and welcomed distractions to children in hospital every day, making their experience less worrying and more enjoyable
2026 marks a very special milestone for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, as we recognise 25 years of support for children and families in hospital. From Yorkhill to the Royal Hospital for Children, thanks to the incredible generosity of people from across Scotland and beyond, we have funded more than £53 million of vital services, innovative equipment and emotional support.
