Charlie House HQ

Charlie House supports babies, children and young people with complex disabilities and life-limiting conditions, and their families, across the North-east of Scotland. 

We provide a range of services including regular fully accessible and inclusive family activities, dedicated parent and sibling activities and an annual family adventure trip to Kielder Forest Park. Families can also receive one-to-one emotional and practical support from the Children & Family Support Manager, as well as support from the Charlie House Community Nurse.

Charlie House launched its public Big Build Appeal in November 2018 to raise £8million to build a specialist support centre in Aberdeen. This 8-bedroom centre will be set in 4 acres of ground at Woodend Hospital and will provide planned and emergency respite as well as palliative and end of life care. 

In the North-east of Scotland alone there are more than 1,800 babies, children and young people with complex disabilities and life-limiting conditions.
