CHAS is the only childrens hospice provider for terminally ill children in the Borders. Part of our fundraising and awareness campaign is to have charity collection cans placed in key public places which allows us to not only raise vital funds but to ensure that we are a known charity in local communities. This plays a key role in raising the awareness of CHAS and allowing families who have a child with a life shortening condition to know that we are there to support them. This role is to coordinate all our collection cans throughout the Borders. This involves semi-regularly (3-6 monthly) replacing full collection cans, counting and banking this money and building relationships with the business owners. You may also wish to build upon these existing cans by using your initiative to place new collection cans.

Join our friendly SCAA team as Can Collectors, by raising awareness and funds we can keep saving time and saving lives across all of Scotland. Speak with local shops and businesses about the life-saving work SCAA provides and placing a new can if they are happy. Keep SCAA updated on locations of cans. Monitor your area of cans if they need collected. Some are busier than others. Uplift full cans and providing clean, empty cans. Count and bank locally (some banks have change counters, but not all). Contact the office with details of the funds, they will send a thank you and update you on how much was raised.
