History
CHASE, the acronym comes from Children’s Hospice Association for the South East, was registered as a charity on 13 November 1994 after being inspired by an article in a national newspaper about a children's hospice in Birmingham. CHASE introduced its Community Care team on 10 May 1999 and Christopher’s children's hospice was opened on 19 November 2001.
