With your support, a local child can experience joy that's designed for them. Please donate today to help more local families like Leo's experience the magic and joy of Christmas.
A fabulous afternoon of fun, fizz and local fashion, modelled by parents supported by Charlie House, returning to the Mansefield Hotel in Elgin and launching at a brand new venue in Aberdeen!
Santa and his elves are getting ready to welcome families back to Bon Accord for a festive experience filled with sparkle, laughter and memories to treasure.
Join our award-winning volunteer community and help make a difference to children and families across the North-east.
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.
Some children don't get the Christmas they dream of - not because they don't believe in the magic of Christmas, but because their needs make the festive world overwhelming, exhausting, or difficult to access.
For children like Leo, Christmas is too bright, too loud, too overwhelming. While other children are meeting Santa or rushing through festive excitement, Leo is often too unwell to even leave the house.
This Christmas, you can change that for a child like Leo.
Fizz and Fashion returns for 2026 with two exciting dates across two fantastic venues. This year we are delighted to return to the much loved Mansefield Hotel in Elgin, followed by a stylish new Aberdeen event at the five star Marcliffe Hotel!
Each afternoon features a fabulous drinks reception, live entertainment, inspirational speakers, and a two-course meal—wrapped up with a dazzling fashion show featuring local fashion modelled by inspirational parents of Charlie House supported families.
With plenty of ways to support Charlie House along the way, including fun games, a tombola, and a raffle, it’s a day of celebration, community, and support that you won’t want to miss.
Adapting to life and caring for your child with a life-limiting condition can be difficult, isolating, stressful and life-changing. Charlie House is here to help you every step of the way.
