The national agreement will see all 32 of Scotland's councils paying just under £700,000 between them for each of the next two years to support the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (Chas).
While other charities have experienced cutbacks in funding from local authorities, or are anxiously awaiting budget decisions or revised council contracts, the deal gives Chas a small increase in the amount it is paid for the support it provides, which includes two children's hospices and a home-care service.
