Homebuilder Redrow donates £73,000 to children's hospice

Redrow has handed over its annual donation, which this year is £73,020, to Claire House Children's Hospice, thanks to the efforts of its North West team.

The team took part in various events throughout the year, including the Chester Dragon Boat Race, quiz nights, golf days, and their annual charity ball, which alone raised over £56,000.

Claire House Children's Hospice, with sites in Wirral and Liverpool, provides support to seriously and terminally ill children.

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