There is also the opportunity to window shop at a variety of small local businesses, with items such as hampers, wreaths, masks, jewellery, clothing, cocktails and award-winning mulled wine.
The One Stop Christmas Shop is mutually beneficial as every business taking part has agreed to donate a percentage of sales to CHAS.

“By purchasing festive gifts through our One Stop Christmas Shop our supporters can tick off gifts from their list, while shopping local – with the added bonus that their purchases are making a real difference.
“We are grateful to everyone participating in this online shopping event which we hope will prove to be a fantastic, festive fundraiser. “

Hide AdLike many other charities, CHAS has had to transform the way in which it operates during the pandemic.
While both Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch are continuing to provide end of life care, the charity now also runs a virtual children’s hospice to support families who are having to completely self-isolate.
Families are offered extensive support by phone and video and a range of interactive activities too.
