CHARITY DISBURSEMENT
• We raise money for Charity
• And then we give a quarter to:
• CHAS - Childrens Hospice Association Scotland
• Carronhill School
• The rest to charities and groups 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.
