What do a parliamentary reception, a national conference, an award-winning chocolatier, a castle adventure, inspiring young people and Scotland’s children’s health heroes all have in common? They’re all part of the latest Children’s Health Scotland Autumn/Winter 2026 Magazine, available now.
This special edition captures a remarkable year for children, young people and families across Scotland, bringing together powerful stories of courage, confidence, friendship, participation and change. Readers can discover highlights from Scottish Children’s Health Week 2026, learn more about the findings of the National Health Rights Report 2026, and explore how children and young people are influencing decision-makers through the Health Rights Defenders programme.
The magazine also celebrates the winners of the Scottish Children’s Health Awards 2026, recognising the individuals, teams and organisations making a positive difference to children’s lives every day. Readers can then look ahead to 2027, with nominations for next year’s awards now open.
Other features include our My Health, My Rights Conference, Bear’s Big Adventure Days for Kinship Care families, Self-Management Skills Programmes, SMS:HUB activities and stories showing how children across Scotland are building confidence, friendships and a stronger understanding of their health rights.
Helen Forrest, Chief Executive of Children’s Health Scotland, said:
This edition is packed with stories that inspire, challenge and celebrate. From children finding their voice and influencing change, to families creating special memories together and professionals going above and beyond to support children, every page demonstrates the difference that can be made when children and young people are listened to, respected and supported. As we celebrate 50 years of Children’s Health Scotland, this magazine reflects not only how far we have come, but also the hopes, ambitions and voices that will help shape the future. I hope readers feel inspired by the stories, achievements and moments that matter featured throughout this special edition.
The magazine also highlights opportunities to support Children’s Health Scotland through its Moments That Matter fundraising campaign, helping create more opportunities for children, young people and families to connect, build confidence and thrive.
