People across the North-east are being asked to swap their usual new year resolutions for a raise-olution to support The Archie Foundation instead.

The campaign, which kicks-off on January 1, 20223, will see hundreds of individuals across the region getting sponsored for achieving either a month-by-month goal or a target for the year.

Cassie Mcgunnigle, Fundraising Manager at The Archie Foundation said: ”There are many resolutions to pick from, you could get sponsored for quitting smoking, learning a new skill or hobby or go vegetarian. If you wanted to go all out, you could have a different resolution each month! For example, go vegan in January, host an event for Archie in February and undertake 5k a day in May.”

Everyone who signs up for Archie’s Raise-olutions appeal will receive a fundraising e-pack including several ideas for targets to try and hit in the new year. The pack also includes cards to write down goals or plans, and templates to invite family and friends to sponsor.

Cassie continued: “We are excited to be kicking off Raise-olutions again for 2023, it’s such a versatile challenge to get involved with and we hope the communities across the north of Scotland will get involved, whether that is taking part in the challenge or sponsor someone who is.”

The Archie Foundation is the official charity of Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital and Aberdeen Neonatal Unit, Tayside Children’s Hospital and Highland Children’s Unit, and provides vital services and support to sick babies and children, as well as supporting bereaved families throughout the north of Scotland, through Archie’s Child Bereavement Service.

“You can achieve a goal you have always wanted to all while helping to support Archie’s crucial services across the north of Scotland.” Cassie said.
