CHAS is a much-loved Scottish charity, and I see first-hand the difference that donations, big and small, make to lives of children and families facing the hardest of times.
We could not do what we do without the generosity of the Scottish public, and I am 100% committed to ensure that every penny raised in our communities is used to deliver the best possible care and experience for those we serve.
In the midst of a challenging fiscal landscape, robust financial management of resources, alongside forward-looking property and digital strategies will help us ensure delivery of excellent care for years to come.
