Celebrations like this remind us how meaningful shared moments can be. We know how precious moments of joy can be for the children and families we support — especially when time is short. Congratulations to the team for lifting spirits everywhere.

💡✨ Colleagues across CHAS stepped into a world of imagination with @DuncanJWardle at an Innovation Workshop. We left inspired, curious, and ready to dream bigger for the children and families we support across Scotland. 💜🌈 #keepthejoyalive #YesAnd

The hospice charity CHAS has launched an urgent fundraiser for its respite services. The programme is crucial for children like Chloe, parents like Mechelle, and the rest of the family. My report from last night's STV News at Six 👇 @supportCHAS

Our Rachel House Activities Team took a group of siblings on a weekend away to Wiston Lodge, with canoeing, climbing and the opportunity to connect with others going through similar experiences. Huge thanks to our amazing team for organising a brilliant weekend. 💛

After an incredible 20 years of volunteering with CHAS, Cath retired last week and we couldn’t let her go without a celebration at Robin House! 🎉 There were flowers, cake & a display of memories from her time with us. Thank you, Cath, you'll always part of the CHAS family. 💛

☀️ During a recent visit to Rachel House, Kassidy soaked up the summer vibes, building sandcastles & cooling off in a paddling pool with her mum. All of this was arranged by our amazing Activities Team. 🏖️ We hope you’re enjoying the sunshine too (and dodging the showers!) 🌦️

Sam, mum to Jameson, said: “Jameson was so excited to be going on the flight and couldn’t wait to go up in the air. He was very excited to meet the pilot and co-pilot, who both went out of their way to make him feel special." 🧑‍✈️ (3/4)
