Happy May 4th to all our Capital Sci Fi Fans!
We are THRILLED to announce the fundraising total for Capital Sci Fi Con 2026, raising vital funds for Children's Hospices Across Scotland. Through your support and generosity, we raised a whopping £64,232.53 to aid children with life shortening conditions and their families.
This means that over the past decade Capital Sci Fi Con has raised a mind boggling £548,247.15, over half a million pounds!!! This is all down to the tireless efforts of the organisers, the kindness of our volunteers, the enthusiasm of our traders, and the phenomenal support from every single person who has walked through the doors of the Corn Exchange over the years.
We cannot thank you all enough for your support and helping CHAS achieve its mission of ensuring that no one has to face the death of their child alone.
Today at @supportchas , we launch our More Than A Hospice appeal, as we believe no one should face the death of their child alone.
We need to raise £20m to make sure that the right care is there for families, when they need it, and where they need it.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to redesign how Scotland cares for children who will die young.
Of the £20 million, £17 million will rebuild Rachel House, £2 million will renew Robin House, and £1 million will strengthen the support we provide in homes and communities across Scotland.
As a nation, we can choose something better. And with your help, we will.
Together, we will:
💛 Transform our hospices, bringing them to a truly world class standard for today’s children and families, and those of the future.
💛 Make it possible for more children to receive end of life care at home, when that is what families want.
💛 Strengthen partnerships with the NHS, so the same expert, compassionate care follows each child - in hospital, in a hospice, or at home - with dignity, continuity and kindness.
This is about giving families real choice: to be at home, in a hospice, or in hospital, knowing that wherever they are, they are loved, supported, and not alone.
Because no one should face the death of their child alone.
We have one chance to get this right.
And what you do now will shape how families are cared for, for generations to come.
This is Scotland caring for its children.
Together, we are More Than a Hospice.
