Claire House Children’s Hospice

A Children’s hospice charity set up to help seriously and terminally ill children to live their life to the full. Allowing the children to create beautiful experiences, ensuring the sense of normality and family are still available. But, at the same time, they have the treatments they require.

Claire House provides emotional support to families and specialised nursing care. These trained experts have a passion for their profession.

The care provided by Claire house is not just about the treatment of the ill child. The hospice’s atmosphere is a place all the children in the family can relax and enjoy themselves (no matter the age). Provisions are in place for parents to engage in family time as well as rest bite.

Claire house does not limit the care and support to the residents of the house, but they give at-home support to those who wish to remain in their family home.

If you wish to donate to Claire house, please see the donation page.
