About CHAS
The Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in Scotland for children with life-limiting conditions.
A children's hospice offers professional care, practical help and emotional support to the whole family usually from the day they are referred until the death of their child and beyond.
Rachel House, Scotland's first children's hospice, opened in Kinross in July 1996. Robin House in Balloch opened in August 2005. Both hospices are purpose-built and each provides ongoing support for up to 200 families across Scotland each year. Since 2003 our CHAS at Home Team (previously called Rachel House at Home) has helped children and their families in the Highlands by providing support to them in their own homes. The Team also provide homecare support to families across Scotland when they need it.
At any one time, Rachel House and Robin House can each accommodate eight children and their families. CHAS services are free to children and families who need them and both hospices and our CHAS at Home service are funded mainly through the huge generosity of our many supporters who help us in so many ways.
