£70k boost for Claire House Children's Hospice

The homebuilder’s donation of £73,020 to the Wirral-based hospice - its largest to date - was made possible thanks to the effort of its North West team who have been busy taking part in events throughout the year including the Chester Dragon Boat Race, quiz nights, golf days and the team’s annual charity ball which raised over £56,000 alone.

Claire House looks after seriously and terminally ill children and has two sites, a full hospice on the Wirral and a second site in Liverpool.

The specialist team in West Derby provides day-care, complementary therapies, clinics, counselling and play and music sessions.

Dan Halliday, corporate fundraising manager at the hospice, said: "Redrow has now raised more than £200,000 for Claire House Children’s Hospice, which is just incredible.

“This means that we can support so many children across the region and ensures that we can be there to hold the hands of the families who desperately need us, at the toughest time imaginable.

"We are so proud to be the charity partner for Redrow and can’t say thank you enough to the difference they have made to the lives of so many."
