Thank you to our amazing volunteers 🧡

For many of the children and families we support, everyday experiences can come with significant challenges, and moments others take for granted aren’t always easy to access.

As part of Volunteer’s Week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who help make those moments possible by giving the gift of time.

You bring fun, laughs and joy to moments that matter most.

Whether you’re helping bring a family activity to life, creating a safe and welcoming space for children to take part in new experiences, or supporting behind the scenes at our events, every hour you give makes a real difference.

Because of you, children across the North-east of Scotland are able to experience the joys of childhood that every child deserves.

You don’t just give your time – you give your heart.

From all of us at Charlie House, thank you. Your support never goes unnoticed.

Going the distance for Charlie House 🏃

A huge congratulations to our four incredible runners who laced up their running shoes and took on the challenge of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival in support of Charlie House.

Conquering distances from 5k to the full 26.2 miles, their determination and months of training saw them through the Edinburgh heat. Their amazing efforts raised over £2,800 to support children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families.

Every step taken and every mile you completed will make a meaningful impact to the lives of local children and their families across the North-east of Scotland 🧡

Well done to our four runners, you’ve inspired us all 👏

Walking with impact, walking for his sister.

Meet Josh, one of our incredible supporters 🌟

At just 15 years old, Josh is taking on the 18-mile Mighty Stride at this year’s Kiltwalk for the second year running.

Josh is walking for someone who is incredibly close to his heart: his big sister, Ava.

Ava lives with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a rare form of childhood epilepsy. Ava, along with her brother and whole family, receive support from Charlie House.

This year, Josh is stepping up to the Kiltwalk challenge again and turning every mile into something meaningful - raising funds for Charlie House, so that local children like his sister, can receive the support they need to live as full lives as possible 🧡

Josh says: “We struggle to find activities that can include my sister, but every event with Charlie House is accessible to her, and you can see how much she loves being able to get involved by the look on her face."

The incredible fundraising support of Josh, and others taking part in this year’s Kiltwalk, will help raise vital funds for Charlie House’s Giving Children Joy programme – providing inclusive and fully accessible activities that bring joy and connection for children with life-limiting or life-limiting conditions – and helping ensure that no child misses out on the joyful childhood experiences they deserve.

Josh’s commitment is truly inspiring and is testament to just how powerful determination can be. Every step taken makes a massive difference for local families, and together, those steps add up to making something special happen for local children.

Inspired by Josh? Join Team Charlie House and walk with impact at this year’s Kiltwalk.

An inspiring story of determination 🏃

Young Harris took an incredible challenge of running 30 miles throughout April. His goal? Take on a personal challenge while raising funds for a local charity. Harris chose to support Charlie House and, raised an amazing £433 through his efforts.

Harris visited Charlie House HQ earlier this week to see firsthand how his funds raised will make a difference, providing up to a day of vital support and care for local children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

Harris hopes his achievement will encourage more people to get active, get running and take on their own challenges.

Thank you Harris, for your fantastic efforts and putting your first food forward to support your local community. Your determination and generosity will make a meaningful impact to the lives of local children and their families across the North-east of Scotland 🧡🧡

This week we are sharing a heartwarming story of friendship 🥰

Evie Wood is an incredible 8-year-old who took on a read-a-thon as part of her Brownies charity badge. Evie spent time reading The Magic Faraway Tree to fundraise in support of her best friend Grace, who is one of the children supported by Charlie House.

Through her love of reading and determination to help her best friend, she raised an amazing £530 for Charlie House, providing vital support to local children living with life-limiting conditions and their families.

To celebrate her achievement, Evie and Grace went to see the Magic Faraway Tree movie at the cinema, the perfect ending to a heartwarming fundraiser.

This is a beautiful reminder that compassion knows no age and that friendship can inspire some of the most special acts of kindness.

Thank you to Evie for showing us all how kindness, compassion and friendship can make a meaningful difference. Your amazing support will help local children and their families across the North-east of Scotland 🧡🧡
