We're grateful for every penny raised and every minute volunteered to help us achieve our aims. With your generosity we can continue to provide unwavering care to children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest of journeys.
Three children a week die in Scotland from an incurable condition, and that number is rising.
Whoever they are, wherever they need help, we believe that no family should face the death of their child alone.
Whether you'd like to support Rachel House or Robin House, a specific project, or allow us to use your donation where it's needed most, we'll work closely with you to ensure supporting CHAS is a rewarding experience and your gift has the biggest impact.
Our programme areas span projects within the hospices, our communities and hospitals.
£10,000 - Could pay for our entire Activities Team for a week right across Scotland providing children with life-shortening conditions, their siblings and family with memorable experiences which are tailored to meet their specific needs.
£3,000 - Could pay for our specialist Physiotherapy Team for a week - helping alleviate pain and improve movement for children with life-shortening conditions.
£5,000 - Could pay for a Nursing Support Worker for two weeks - providing vital nursing care for a child with a life-shortening condition at one of our hospices or in their own home.
£1,000 - Could pay for our Chaplain for a whole week - providing specialist emotional support to children and families, especially vital through end of life care and bereavement.
We were delighted when Claire and Mark Urquhart became our very first Fund a Day supporters, covering the cost of CHAS services for a special day.
Claire and I are delighted to be able to support the CHAS pay for a day initiative. Whilst we were aware of CHAS before, our attendance at the Rocking Horse Ball last year really brought home how important the service is to all members of families who use it. We have first-hand experience of a family friend whose son is living with a rare genetic disorder who regularly goes to Rachel House. From talking to her, it is clear that it provides a place of respite, tranquillity and support which is invaluable to the care she is able to give both her son and his elder sister.

If you pay tax above the basic rate, you can claim the difference between the rate you pay and basic rate on your donation. For a 40% rate taxpayer, that means for every £100 you donate to CHAS - we claim Gift Aid to make your donation £125, so you can personally claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%) tax relief.
If you're a UK tax-payer simply completing a Gift Aid Declaration could enable CHAS to increase the value of your gift by an additional 25%. Please note that you must have paid income tax on the amount of Gift Aid claimed in the tax year you made your donation.
