CHAS is a Scottish charity committed to the provision of children's hospice services in Scotland, working exclusively with children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Rachel House, Scotland's first children's hospice opened in 1996, provides the following services.
- Specialist palliative support through respite care and emergency care for children with life-limiting, life-threatening, and terminal conditions.
- Regular short-term breaks for children and their families.
- Terminal care and bereavement counselling and support.
- Friendship, information, advice and practical support for families, with help available in their own homes at times of particular stress.
Due to an increase in demand for its services, CHAS built its second children's hospice for Scotland. Robin House in Balloch near Loch Lomond opened to children with life-limiting/terminal conditions and their families in August 2005.
