Scottish Gas has been working in partnership with Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) since the beginning of 2020. CHAS is a phenomenal charity working across Scotland to provide hospice care for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions. This care is provided at their two children's hospices; Robin House in Balloch and Rachel House in Kinross, in families' homes through their "CHAS at Home" teams, in hospitals across the country and through their Virtual Hospice service which was launched in April 2020.

No matter how short a child's life, CHAS is there to ensure the time they have with their family is packed full of joy and precious memories. We are incredibly passionate about CHAS's work and we want to help them reach every family in Scotland that needs them.

To date, my colleagues have raised £30k for CHAS and continue to support the charity in many other ways including volunteering our time to help deliver their Virtual Hospice service. We have a number of events lined up before the end of 2021 and we are also hoping to provide some pro-bono services which will save CHAS a significant sum of money and realise the true value of our unique partnership.

It's my turn to help the team so we're doing a skydive on 21 August - please help us help a wonderful charity.  I'll match the first £1,000 of donations made.
