Families across Scotland need the right care, at the right time, in the right place. With your support, we can raise £20m to transform children’s hospice care, so that wherever they choose to die, no family faces that journey alone.
We support children and families in life, death and beyond, from the moment you learn the devastating news that your child is seriously ill and may die young.
We help families live well with complexity and uncertainty.
We are there to help you say a meaningful goodbye and cope with your grief.
How can help you
We want to rewrite the future of how Scotland cares for dying children by creating the world’s most advanced children’s hospices and reaching every child and family who needs us, wherever they are. But we can’t do it without significant investment and support.
Right now, we only have enough money to help one in three families. You can help us to reach them all.

We had the perfect life then everything changed almost in the blink of an eye. After Amelia was diagnosed, things moved so quickly and she was constantly in and out of hospital. We didn’t get a chance to be a family and do all the things you would expect to do with your child. But CHAS gave us something no-one else could – they gave us time with Amelia before and after she died. We got to make memories with her and be a family. We’ll forever be grateful to CHAS.
From our very first visit to Rachel House we felt at home and we felt safe. Leah is such a little character and loved the attention, especially from Gillian, her Keyworker. She calls Rachel House her “happy place” and says it always feels like being on holiday. She always checks the calendar every day to see how many sleeps until she can go back to her “happy place".
Through our hospices, home care services and hospital presence, CHAS provides palliative care, family respite and support throughout Scotland including dedicated bases in Aberdeen and Inverness.
Everyone who works for CHAS plays an important part in keeping the joy alive for children and families all over Scotland.
