About CHAS
Children’s Hospices Across Scotland – better known as CHAS – is dedicated to supporting every single member of these families as they face the toughest challenge of their lives. We are committed to making sure that no matter how short their time together may be, it is a time filled with happiness and fun.
Knowing that your child is going to die before you do is the unthinkable reality that thousands of families across Scotland have to cope with every day.
This is a really challenging journey. It relies on trust, courage and love of the families with whom we work, the dedication, compassion and expertise of our team and the professionalism of our partners across health and care services. Along the way something truly amazing happens, because in the pain of terrible grief, joy lives on. We are dedicated to helping families celebrate the lives of their children whilst they are together – and to honour their memory.
£24 can provide a one hour session for a child or sibling with an Activities Facilitator – making precious memories through messy play and encouraging children to talk about their feelings. £43 will cover one hour of Advanced Nurse Practitioner time – providing advanced nursing support to seriously ill children. £250 will pay for a Senior Nursing Support Worker for a day – providing vital nursing care to children with complex conditions whilst giving their families a break from 24-7 caring responsibilities.
CHAS provides unwavering care to children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest of journeys. Your kind generosity at the Glasgow Kiltwalk gives us the funds to provide vital support to the children and families who need us. Thank you.Find out more about CHAS fundraising events here.
