Our mission to reach every family across Scotland simply wouldn't be possible without the continued generosity of from all of donors and funders who stand with families at the toughest of times. We care about our supporters, and communicate with them honestly by ensuring the stories we share are driven by the principle of the truth well told. We are accountable for the stories we tell, and make sure they are delivered carefully and respectfully, in line with the families' wishes. This integrity is important to us as you, a supporter or funder, are a vital part of the CHAS family making sure that no one should face the death of a child alone.

Every day I am truly humbled by the generosity and commitment from everyone who fundraises for CHAS. It's a privilege to lead a team whose sole focus is to inspire the public and the difference their support makes - it is our supporters who help keep the joy alive and we wish each and every one to understand how much joy their gift will bring.
