About the Sick Kids Friends Foundation

The Sick Kids Friends Foundation was founded in 1992 and in the years since has helped to support the 100,000 children who come through the doors of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children every year and their families. We are a registered charity (SC 020862) and the funding which we provide comes from many very generous members of the public, companies, Charitable Trusts and Foundations, schools and other organisations. Decisions as to how the funding we provide is allocated are made by our Board of 13 Trustees, drawn from parents of patients, staff at the hospital and in the community and members of the general public who have a strong interest in children's health.

Since 1992 we have completed many projects and bought many items which have had a huge positive impact on the lives of sick children and their families most noteably the Family Support Centre, CT Scanner, the Gamma Camera, the Clinical Skills Centre, the Parents Accomodation and PJ's Loft, OR1 , our operating theatre equipment, sensory gardens at Calereidh and Sunndach, the respite homes for children with complex nursing needs and most recently the Drop In Centre. But we also do lots of very small things, such as making sure that children have access to toys, games, TVs, computers and each of them receives a Welcome present when they are shown to their hospital bed on arrival.
