Most people know us as CHAS.

With your support, we can provide unwavering care to children who may die young and their families at every step on this hardest of journeys.

Get involved with CHAS

Knowing that your child may die before you do, is the unthinkable reality that thousands of families across Scotland have to cope with every day.

Right now, we only have enough money to help one in three families. You can help us to reach them all.

The CHAS Alphabet

The CHAS Alphabet is at the heart of everything we do. It’s bright, colourful and filled with fun and represents the joy we aspire to bring to the lives of the children and families we care for.

Best of all, the CHAS Alphabet is created by the very best designers – the children we care for.

Sign up to our newsletter to hear more about the children we care for and difference you make.

Abbie

When she was young, it looked like Abbie wouldn’t make it past 5 years old.

But Abbie lived until she was 11, and one of her favourite things to do was visiting CHAS.
