Improving the quality of life for children in the North-east of Scotland who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions
In North-east Scotland, there are around 1,800 babies, children and young people living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.
Together, we can provide vital support for these children and their families while helping them create memories for the whole family to treasure.
Emma woke up post-labour to confusion as she discovered her newborn baby was attached to a variety of wires and machines.
She was told Grace wouldn't survive. Fortunately, Grace's health improved but she was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
As Grace got older, Emma didn't want her to miss out on anything - then they discovered Charlie House.

In 2018 Charlie House launched the Big Build Appeal to raise £8m. Our ultimate goal is to build a dedicated support centre in Aberdeen, so that families don't need to travel over 100 miles to get the specialist care and support they need.

We don’t think it is acceptable for families to have to travel more than 100 miles to get support, respite and care when they need it.
Our Buy a Brick campaign makes it easy for you to help local families who will benefit from your support for many years to come. We need 4,000 virtual bricks to help build Charlie House. When you buy a brick, your generosity will help lay the physical foundations of this very special facility.
