Claire House Children’s Hospice is celebrating today after planning permission was granted for a new 24/7 hospice in Liverpool! 🫶

The plans would transform the charity’s West Derby site into a full children’s hospice, bringing vital care closer to home for hundreds of seriously ill babies, children and young adults across Liverpool and surrounding areas.

For many families, distance has long been one of the biggest barriers to accessing hospice care when they need it most. Long, exhausting journeys to the charity’s Wirral hospice have often meant families spending precious time travelling, rather than being together.

We caught up with David Pastor, CEO of Claire House Children’s Hospice, as well as members of the charity’s community to hear how this will transform their lives. 🩵

A 6ft Milk Snake had popped into the apartment to say hello, and so far its owners haven’t been found.
