The donations were made by the contractor’s staff throughout the month of March, and were distributed to CHAS’s Robin House hospice in Balloch and Rachel House hospice in Kinross. Both hospices provide a ‘home from home’ for families, with a range of facilities including hydrotherapy rooms, accessible gardens, and various areas for relaxing and fun, as well as for reflection, bereavement support and care.

Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, better known as CHAS, provides hospice and palliative care services for babies, children and young people (0-21) and their families across Scotland. They support families across Scotland, at home, at hospital and in our hospices, through the terrifying heartbreak of knowing their child may die young. With love and compassion, they offer highly personalised care for the entire family and not just the child who is ill.

Linsey Cairns, corporate partnerships executive, said: “On behalf of CHAS, I would like to say a massive thank you to the team at Clark Contracts for your very kind donations of Easter eggs to our children’s hospices. Thanks to incredible supporters like you, CHAS is able to create an environment where joy, love, and compassion thrive and as you can see by the smiling faces in the photograph, your donations were very well received at Rachel and Robin House. Once again, thank you so much for supporting CHAS and for helping families to create beautiful memories together. ”

Gordon Cunningham, managing director of Clark Contracts, added: “We are delighted to have been able to support CHAS with this donation of Easter eggs, and are thankful to our employees who have supported this initiative. CHAS offer an amazing support service for children with life shortening conditions, as well as for their families.”
