Claire House cares for children with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions from Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man. The home-from-home environment allows children and their families to enjoy some special time together, allowing them to play, develop and grow amid surroundings that are safe, happy and supportive.

Facilities include a multi-sensory room, jacuzzi, hydrotherapy pool, teenage room, art and craft area, and a variety of alternative therapies.

All of its children have complex medical needs which are met by an experienced team of registered sick children's and nursery nurses, care assistants, a physiotherapist and others. Medical cover is provided by four dedicated GPs.

The charity relies entirely on the generousity and help of people in the region for all of its income and running costs. £100,000 needs to be raised every month to keep the doors of the hospice open.

More information is available from the Claire House website.
