<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On the 19th of June our group, made up of the IT team at Clackmannanshire Council, will be running/walking/crawling the Men's Health Forum Scotland 10k in aid of the Children's Hospice Association Scotland.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please show your support for this amazing charity by donating anything you can.</p> <p><span style="color: #5c5c5c; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"> <p style="font-weight: normal; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: medium none initial;">Children&rsquo;s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity that provides the&nbsp;only hospice services in Scotland for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.<br /><br />CHAS runs two children&rsquo;s hospices, Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch. The hospices support the whole family by offering short planned breaks, emergency support, end of life care and a range of bereavement services. At any one time, Rachel House and Robin House can each accommodate eight children or young people and their families.</p> <p style="font-weight: normal; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: medium none initial;">CHAS also provides a home care service, called CHAS at Home, staffed from both hospices and with a dedicated team in the North of Scotland. The service offers care to families in their own homes when they need it most.</p> <p style="font-weight: normal; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: medium none initial;">Caring for a child or young person with a life-shortening condition can place extreme demands on a family, physically and emotionally, so CHAS tries to lighten the burden. No two families are the same and CHAS has the flexibility to respond to the individual needs of family members by providing professional care, practical help and emotional support.</p> <p style="font-weight: normal; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: medium none initial;">CHAS supports over 250 families, as well as a significant number of families who receive bereavement support. The services are free to families who need them and are funded mainly through the generosity of the many supporters who help the charity to raise over &pound;6 million needed each year to provide these vital hospice services.</p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
