Scottish Children’s Health Week 2027

Each year, Scottish Children’s Health Week brings people together to celebrate children’s health, wellbeing and healthcare rights across Scotland. We’re already planning an exciting week of activities, resources and opportunities to get involved, and we’ll be unveiling our 2027 theme, activity book, partners and programme in the months ahead.

A heartfelt thank you to Dogs Trust, Calum’s Cabin, Edinburgh Zoo, Team Jak, the Teapot Trust, Barnardo’s Scotland, the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland, Play Scotland, and Parent Club for sharing their creativity, expertise, and passion.

Your contributions have helped bring the 2026 Activity Book to life in the most inspiring way — filling each page with colour, wellbeing activities, playful learning, and empowering messages that help defend the health rights of children and young people across Scotland.

We are so grateful for your commitment to making this milestone 50th anniversary year truly special.

• A bright and joyful Be Friendly Wordsearch celebrating friendship and health rights
• The My Health, My Rights Children and Young People’s Charter, co‑created with our Health Rights Defenders
• An accessible introduction to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the EACH Charter
• Creative crafts, wellbeing games, outdoor challenges, and playful activities from our fantastic partners
• Opportunities to reflect on kindness, bravery, feelings, wellbeing, and what makes each of us unique

We hope you’ll join in, share your experiences, and help us defend the right of every child to the best possible health. Don’t forget to tag us and use #MyHealthMyRights and #BeMoreBear on social media — we’d love to see what you get up to during this special 50th anniversary year!
