Join Team ECHC today!
As the only charity in the world solely dedicated to supporting NHS Lothian’s children’s services, we are privileged to provide help to more than 110,000 babies, children and young people every year; at Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, in other hospital and healthcare settings across the Lothians, Borders and Fife and in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
No child or young person wants to be in hospital, but for those who have to be, ECHC is there to make the experience as positive as possible. We support children, young people and families with our daily activities, youth work, family support service, hardship funding, play programme, our hospital shop, and world class medical training, research and equipment.
Help us to transform the experiences of children and young people in hospital. Guaranteed charity places available now!

Enter yourself for a run
You can also purchase your own entry from the EMF website and still choose to raise sponsorship for ECHC. As you will be paying your own entry fee, we do not set a fundraising target amount. We just ask that you raise what you can and that you contact us with your details, so that we can add you to Team ECHC and provide you with a fundraising pack and running top.
Thank you so much for considering Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity. We really hope you can join us for EMF!
