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.
