The Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in Scotland for children with life-limiting conditions. A children's hospice offers professional care, practical help and emotional support to the whole family from the day they are referred until the death of their child and beyond. Rachel House, Scotland's first children's hospice, opened in Kinross in July 1996. Robin House in Balloch opened in August 2005. Both hospices are purpose-built and each provides ongoing support for up to 200 families across Scotland each year. Since 2003 our Rachel House at Home team, based in Inverness, has provided support to children and their families in the Highlands. At any one time, Rachel House and Robin House can each accommodate eight children and their families. No charge is made to families who use CHAS's services and both hospices and our At Home service are funded mainly through the huge generosity of our many supporters who help us in so many ways. CHAS Philosophy Rachel House and Robin House exist to provide specialist respite, terminal care and bereavement support, for families with a child or young person who is not expected to live into adulthood. They will at all times maintain a clear focus on the individual needs of the sick child, brothers and sisters, parents and other significant family members.
