CHAS at Christmas

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 died 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."

You can't spell CHristmAS without CHAS...

The vital care we provide at CHAS is only possible because of the generosity of people like you. This Christmas, we invite you to be part of something special and to join us in making a difference.

Here are some fun and impactful ways you can get involved in fundraising for CHAS and bring joy to families when they need it most:

Christmas quiz or bingo night

Bring your friends together for a festive night of fun. Teams can pay to enter and compete in a Christmas trivia showdown or try their luck with holiday-themed bingo.

The Big CHAS Bake

Whip up Christmas cakes, create Christmas puds, or organise a bake sale at work. It's a delicious way to make a difference. We can supply you with:

• The Big CHAS Bake pack full of useful tips and tricks.
• Support from your local CHAS fundraiser and access to CHAS materials to help your Big CHAS Bake be as successful as possible.

12 Days of 5K Challenge

Walk or run 5k a day for 12 days in December. Join our supportive Facebook Group to sign up and receive your free CHAS Santa hat.

Spread Christmas cheer

Organise a festive raffle or a fundraising game like 'Guess the number of sweets in the jar' and spread some joy.

Reindeer Run

Join the fun and support CHAS with a Reindeer Run at your school, nursery, or youth club this Christmas! Split the funds raised between your group and CHAS, and together we can make a real difference. With our Reindeer Run pack, the children can decorate our downloadable antlers and be rewarded with their very own Reindeer Run sticker.

Swap gifts for donations

Encourage your family and friends to join you in making this Christmas extra meaningful by skipping the gifts and donating to CHAS instead.
