Collecting Can Representative (Dunbartonshire)

Turn Small Change into Big Change – and Help Shape the Future of Children’s Hospice Care

This is a truly exciting time to join CHAS. We’re launching a £20.4 million appeal -the most ambitious transformation since Rachel House opened 30 years ago. This is about more than bricks and beds. It’s about creating a future where every family has real choice and unwavering care.

As a Collecting Can Volunteer, you’ll place and collect CHAS fundraising cans in local shops, cafes, and pubs - turning spare change into life-changing support. Every pound you collect will help rebuild Rachel House, renew Robin House, and reimagine care across Scotland through CHAS at Home and hospital partnerships.
