CWP Energy has donated £2,000 to Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) to support the creation of a new Welcome Area at Rachel House Children’s Hospice in Kinross.
The contribution will help CHAS transform the arrival experience for children and families visiting Rachel House as part of its ambitious redevelopment plans. CHAS is seeking to raise £355,000 to create a welcoming, accessible reception area that provides comfort and reassurance from the moment families arrive.
For many families, arriving at Rachel House can be an emotional and overwhelming experience. The new Welcome Area will be designed to create a calm, homely environment where children, young people and their loved ones can feel safe, supported and cared for during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Sarah Dannfald, CHAS, said: “For many families, arriving at Rachel House for the first time can be an emotional and overwhelming experience, often at a point when life feels uncertain and challenging. The Welcome Area plays such an important role in those first moments. It is the very first impression families receive and helps create a sense of warmth and reassurance from the moment they arrive.
“Thanks to your generosity, we will be able to create a space that truly reflects the care and kindness at the heart of Rachel House, ensuring every family receives the warmest possible welcome when they need it most. A huge thank you to everyone at CWP Energy for helping make this possible.”
Sarah Wood, Marketing Manager at CWP Energy, said: “At CWP Energy, we are proud to support organisations that make a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work.
“CHAS provides invaluable care and support to children and families across Scotland, and we are delighted to contribute towards creating a Welcome Area that will offer comfort, reassurance and a warm first impression for everyone who walks through the doors of Rachel House.”
CHAS is encouraging businesses across Scotland to join CWP Energy in supporting the Welcome Area Appeal. By bringing together contributions from organisations of all sizes, the charity hopes to raise the £355,000 needed to create a space that reflects the warmth, compassion and specialist care that families experience throughout their time at Rachel House.
Businesses interested in supporting the appeal can find out more by contacting CHAS or visiting the charity’s website.
