Scotland’s second children’s hospice, Robin House, was opened in 2005. Like Scotland’s first children’s hospice Rachel House, the hospice offers a purpose-built ‘home from home’ with accommodation for eight families from across Scotland at any one time.
Robin House offers a place where families can relax, recharge their batteries and have fun with their children. Expert care is on hand to help them make the most of each day and live life to the full.
They look after children and young people who have conditions where survival into full adulthood is not expected. Ordinarily children and young people will be under 16 years of age when they are first referred. CHAS cannot normally accept a child for care with a non-progressive illness or disability, unless there is a clearly identified palliative need. Further information on the CHAS referral procedure can be found on the CHAS website.
To find out more, you can talk to your child’s Paediatrician, Community Children’s Nurse, GP, Health Visitor or Social Worker who will contact CHAS on your behalf. Alternatively, you can call them by telephone to discuss your situation.
