Turn small change into big change!

This is a truly exciting time to join CHAS
Rachel House in Kinross, Scotland’s first children’s hospice, is about to undergo a £17 million transformation - creating even more accessible, welcoming, and inspiring spaces for children and families. From new hydrotherapy pools to fully accessible adventure gardens, these changes will help CHAS support more families than ever before.

But we can’t do it without you.
