Huge thanks to Loganair and everyone involved in making this flight such a joy for the families we support. 💛✨

#TeamCHAS #Loganair #MakingMemories

Sam, mum to Jameson, said: “Jameson was so excited to be going on the flight and couldn’t wait to go up in the air. He was very excited to meet the pilot and co-pilot, who both went out of their way to make him feel special." 🧑‍✈️ (3/4)

From boarding at Glasgow Airport to views of the stunning west coast, every moment was filled with joy, excitement – and even a few fair tale and comic book characters! 👸💛 (2/4)

🛩️ A magical day in the skies!

For the fourth year running, our incredible partner Loganair took children and families on a breath-taking scenic flight over Scotland. 🛫(1/4)

“Volunteering at CHAS is a two-way thing. It gives me pleasure trying to be creative in a very rustic way, and what I do hopefully puts a smile on someone’s face, whether it’s a child, a parent, or a CHAS worker.” (3/3) 🧵

Ian volunteers one morning a week helping out in the gardens and creating quiet spaces full of imagination.

He's even created a fairy corner featuring carved butterflies and castle, a painted door with a deer at sunset, and carved birds forming a nature trail. 🧚 (2/3) 🧵

This #VolunteersWeek, we’re celebrating the amazing people who give their time and talents to CHAS. 💛

Meet Ian – a retired insurance and data protection expert who now brings a little magic to the gardens at Rachel House. (1/3) 🧵

"Nancy, with the other founders, had the vision of what palliative care for babies & children could look like. With love & compassion, their mission has led CHAS to now offer unwavering care to children & families, at every step on the hardest of journeys, in hospices, hospitals, & in their homes.”

Our CEO, Rami, shared: “Nancy was a true inspiration for many staff and families at CHAS. She had a clear ambition for what CHAS should offer young people and their families. She showed true commitment and spoke with real passion, holding to her values over many years."

Today we remember Nancy Blaik, our founding director, on the day of her funeral.

Nancy helped create CHAS and open Scotland’s first children’s hospice, Rachel House, in 1996. Her legacy lives on in every family we support.

Thank you, Nancy 💛

Last week, our incredible nurses celebrated #InternationalNursesDay!

There were thank you cards, special pens, homemade cakes (with fab toppers!), ice lollies and sunshine all round.

Thank you to every CHAS nurse for the care, compassion & strength you bring to your work. We’re so grateful. 💛

While in hospital, Harry and his mum started making keyrings to pass the time. It turned into a mini fundraiser — and he’s now raised over £500 for CHAS! 🎉 Huge thanks to Harry, Claire and all who supported this fantastic creative idea. 💛🙌 #HelpingHands #YoungFundraiser

Our team made sure it was a day to remember. With both of his grannies there, a cake & a photographer to capture precious moments, Charlie’s 100th day was filled with love.

Your support makes moments like these possible, helping families cherish every second together. (2/2)💛

Little Charlie arrived at Robin House for end-of-life care. His parents, Danielle and Ryan, had always hoped he would reach 100 days old, and shared that this special milestone was just around the corner. (1/2)

Alongside many other charities, we are calling for the UK Government to take forward a social energy tariff to ease financial pressures on vulnerable households that face high energy costs. (2/2) 🧵

Thank you to Marie McNair MSP for raising the issue of energy costs for families of children with life-shortening conditions in the @parliament.scot yesterday. These families urgently need support with unavoidably high bills. (1/2) 🧵

In the lead-up to Valentine’s Day, children from Robin House decorated rocks and placed them around Balloch Park to bring a little joy to those who find them.

Grace, David, Nathan, and Ellie had a great time spreading kindness—what small act will you do for someone this week? ❤️

Thank you, Madeleine 💛
