Help us build a specialist facility for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions right here in the North-east of Scotland
Charlie House has announced it is revising the plans and location for its specialist support centre in Aberdeen amid challenging economic conditions which have led to the projected costs almost doubling. The board is, however, actively exploring alternative and more sustainable options.
Charlie House remains committed to delivering a specialist centre that will provide services and activities to families and babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions in the North-east of Scotland.
Charlie House Chief Executive, John Brebner said:
“We have therefore taken the difficult, but prudent, decision to move away from the original plans for the specialist centre at Woodend and, instead, explore more financially viable and sustainable options.
“It is imperative that we use our funding wisely so that we can not only deliver a new specialist service but are able to operate it without putting undue financial pressure on the charity, especially when the third sector is already struggling.
“Our services are critical to the wellbeing of the children and families that we support and will continue while we look at other options for the centre.”
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. Charlie House is committed to building a specialist care facility for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions from across our community.
