Make a referral

We're here to help you

Children and families come to CHAS for lots of reasons. Some may need support for a short time while others may need support for many years.

We understand that it might be scary to hear that your child might need support from a hospice.

CHAS can offer you support at all critical stages, from diagnosis and learning your child is seriously ill, to helping your child live well, at end of life and through bereavement.

We can support you and your family when you need us most.

If you'd like to talk to us about a child's needs, please give us a call using either of the numbers below.

We'll answer all your questions and give you the support you need.

Rachel House: 01577 865 777 or Robin House: 01389 722 055.

The details requested on this form are reviewed by a referral panel which helps us work out how to best help your child and family.

However, in more urgent situations, please phone us at:
Rachel House: 01577 865 777 or Robin House: 01389 722 055.

Ask to speak to one of the nursing or medical teams about an urgent referral.
