Claire House

Our powdered paint event, The Claire House Splash Dash, is returning to Sefton Park on Saturday 22nd September!
This is Merseyside's messiest 5k, where the whole family can run, walk, skip or spacehop, all whilst getting messy as you make your way around the route passing through the many paint stations!

Today, on Saturday the 11th of August, we are remembering Louie Joseph Mark Adams on his 4th birthday. His mum Stacey, dad Steve and big sister Ruby have paid for a full day’s care at Claire House Children’s Hospice. They’d like to thank everyone who has supported their quizzes, raffles and curry nights, helping to raise over £6600.
Louie was born 5 weeks early, with Downs Syndrome. He was an amazing, beautiful boy, who people were drawn to. Once you’d met Louie, you would... never forget him.
Louie defied doctors by walking much sooner than expected and talking too. When Louie was diagnosed with an extremely rare lung condition he went from being special, to ultra-special.
Louie sadly passed away when he was just two years old and came to rest in one of the Butterfly Suites at Claire House. Mum Stacey said ‘No words can thank Claire House for the support they have given and are still giving to our family’. Ruby loves spending time with other Claire House siblings. She says, ‘It makes me feel like I’m not alone’.
Everyone at Claire House would like to thank Louie’s family and send their best wishes on his birthday.

Did you know that Claire House were the first Makaton friendly hospice?
Lots of the children who come to Claire House use Makaton, so last week we had a Mr Tumble party to encourage everyone at the hospice to use Makaton.
Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help the children communicate, like their favourite character Mr Tumble.
... Ciara and Heidi had a great time!

You can help us to be there for every family that needs us by donating today. https://www.clairehouse.org.uk/donate/

Yesterday was National Play Day, so of course we couldn't let it pass by without a day of celebrations!
We had a visit from a makaton choir, a very friendly pony and the Silly Milly and Jolly Molly Show. As well as lots of games and face painting.
It was fun times all round!

Help us find Fynley to say THANK YOU!
We received a lovely letter from Fynley who has taken part in the Fiver Challenge and raised a fantastic £46 for Claire House.
Sadly, he did not include what his group was called or contact information so we cannot get in touch to thank him.
... If you know Fynley and his group, please message us so we can give him a big THANK YOU!

What a challenge!🚴🚴🚴
We would like to say a huge thank you and massive well done to Paul, Chris and Dan who all took on the Great Mountain Divide Bike Route for Claire House.
The challenge which takes around four weeks to complete begins in Canada and finishes in New Mexico. The route is made up of long dirt roads and jeep trails and the biggest risk to the riders throughout the challenge is grizzly bears.🐻
... By the routes end a rider will climb nearly 200,000 vertical feet - the equivalent to summiting Mount Everest from sea-level 7 times.
We think you'll agree this is a huge achievement.

Went on a tour this afternoon to see how Claire house is run. I work for TSB bank and claire house is our chosen charity to raise money for this year, the tour really helped me to understand the reasons why our fundraising is so vital. The incredible job that the staff and volunteers do brought me to tears and I was very humbled by everything I saw. My eyes and my heart were opened in such a positive and vibrant way and my colleagues and I will do our absolute best to make sure that we can smash our targets for all of the amazing children and young adults that use the facilities that make such a difference x

These place is absolutely amazing,we not have made it through my daughter passing away without there help and support every step of the way

Many thanks jane and John boswell and family x

The staff at Claire house looked after my amazing little nephew Sam, and his equally amazing mummy Natalie, daddy Shaun and siblings Alex an Nell. The care and support that the staff gave went above and beyond their call of duty. Even when we lost our special boy in September (age 2) the staff didn't stop Thier care and support and still keep in contact now. The tenderness they shown our Sam when he had passed an was in the butterfly suite will never ever be forgotten.

I would like to say the biggest thank you to all the staff that supported and cared for our precious Angel boy and his family. Your all amazing.

It's the most amazing place! The staff are fabulous and I feel at ease leaving my son in their care. Without the support of Claire House our lives just wouldn't be the same �

Incredible staff who go above & beyond for the children. This place is a lifeline to me & my 2 year old daughter, I don't know how I'd cope without them. And when I was there yesterday the atmosphere was magical with lots of Xmas festivities going on �

I work in the retail department for Claire House and I can honestly say its the most rewarding job that I have ever had. Its a real privilege to work for such an amazing charity.

I struggle to find the right words to express what Claire House have done for us but I will try. The last year has been extremely difficult for our family - I am one of the Nana's in the family. It is only very recently Claire House have become involved with us but already they have brought some normality, fun, happiness and possitive memory making back into our lives. We know there are tough times ahead but having Claire House in our lives gives us hope. Godbless you all and the special work you do, thank you x x x ☺

I didn’t a easter raffle in my school with 2 friends and we loved doing it and we raised £140:77

I absolutely love Claire house. The care is second to none. All the staff are amazing. You know you can leave your child in good hands while you take much needed time out for yourself. There is so much for the children to do to keep them entertained. The family rooms upstairs are fab, just like a hotel with en-suites. I enjoy staying myself its total bliss.

Fantastic happy place, staff absolutely dedicated, would recommend the Tour, the children are so well looked after. Happy Easter everyone.
