A celebratory concert has taken place at Robin House to mark an announcement of more funding.
The ScottishPower Foundation has announced a second year of funding for Music in Hospitals Scotland, the live music charity which offers high-quality musical performances for people in hospitals, hospices, day care centres, special schools and care homes.
Robin House, which is run by Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), is a purpose built ‘home from home’ that offers care and support for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions, and their families.
Children were treated to a live performance from singer and guitarist Amy Rayner.
Alison Ringrose, CHAS Activities Facilitator, said: “Children and young people had a fantastic time at the concert and we are very grateful to all those involved for making it happen.
"Music is a wonderful way for them to have fun and express themselves. These events also give families the opportunity to create special memories, helping them to make the most of their time together, no matter how short.”
Music in Hospitals was established in Scotland in 1980 to deliver concerts to people of all ages. Last year the charity delivered 4,431 concerts throughout the UK with 1,772 taking place in Scotland.
