In honor of the fact that we just got the first four episodes of Long Way Down from Netflix, Day 4 is CHAS.
From their website:
"Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity that provides the only hospice services in Scotland for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.
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.
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 £6 million needed each year to provide these vital hospice services."
I first heard about this charity thanks to a fundraiser that some fellow Ewan McGregor fans were doing, and I can't even begin to express how amazing the people at CHAS are, and how incredibly important their work is.
