Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS)

We’re Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, but most people know us as CHAS. For thirty years we’ve been offering unwavering care to children with life-shortening conditions, and their whole family too.

Time is precious. Our staff and volunteers help families at all the key moments, on the hardest of journeys. From the terrifying heartbreak of diagnosis, to end of life care. From living well with the precious time they have together, to supporting families with life after loss. We stand beside families at the toughest moments, and help them create joyful ones too.

Our staff and volunteers deliver exceptional care to meet the unique needs of each child and their family. Through our two hospices Rachel House and Robin House, our hospital teams, and CHAS at Home services, we take great care to meet the medical, practical, and emotional needs of each family, listening to their choices and wishes.

We work closely with colleagues in the NHS and other care and public services, relieving pressure on key services, and supporting the delivery of very complex care. Most importantly, our partnerships put the child and the family at the heart of everything we do. With the help of gifts in Wills, we can ensure every child with a life shortening condition in the future can make the most of the precious time they have, and live a life filled with as much joy as possible. A gift to CHAS is the gift of precious time to children and families.
