Big Build. Big Need.
The need for palliative care in Scotland is growing, and more children are living longer with serious life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Yet here in the North-East, there remains a gap in specialist care provision for children.
Thatās why we wonāt stop.
Charlie House remains committed to creating a specialist care centre right here in the North-East, for local children and the people who love and care for them.
Last year, rising construction costs meant we made the difficult decision to seek a new site for the specialist facility. Since then, weāve visited more than 40 prospective sites and worked with property and design partners to explore the best way forward.
Much of that work is happening behind the scenes, but we wanted to reassure you that progress continues, shaped throughout by the needs and voices of the families we support.
The path has evolved, the need hasnāt - and neither has our commitment.
To everyone who has championed the Big Build Appeal through fundraising, donations and support ā thank you.
Your support is helping create not only a physical place where local children can receive vital care, support and respite, but a future where no family has to face their childās condition alone š§”
