Fundraise for CHAS this Christmas!
Across Scotland, thousands of families are living with a devastating reality that their child may die young. The need for support has never been greater, and CHAS is here to ensure that no family walks this heartbreaking path alone.
Christmas can be especially tough for those who have experienced loss, but at CHAS, we're committed to helping children and their families make the most of their time together, creating joyful memories that will last a lifetime.
Cally's family knows how priceless time together is. After Cally suffered a life-changing accident, CHAS helped her and her mum, Kate, create beautiful Christmas memories - twinkling lights, festive dinners, and moments of joy in the hospice. When Cally passed away just before Christmas, CHAS continued to support Kate through her darkest days.
As Kate shared, "The memories CHAS gave me with my daughter are the greatest gift I will ever receive."
