Charity Disbursement
We raise money for Charity
And then we give half each to:
CHAS - Childrens Hospice Association Scotland
Charities which support families in the area

CHAS
Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in Scotland for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
A children’s hospice offers professional care, practical help and emotional support to the whole family usually from the day of acceptance, to the death of their child, and beyond.
Rachel House in Kinross, Scotland’s first children’s hospice, opened in March 1996. Robin House in Balloch opened in August 2005. Both hospices are purpose-built and each can provide ongoing support for up to 200 families across Scotland each year.
The CHAS at Home Team offers support to families across Scotland by providing a home care service to families in their own homes when they need it.
