A charity ball organised by Redrow raised more than £74,000 for Claire House Children's Hospice.

The event, held at Chester Racecourse on November 8, featured a live auction, with a canvas painting bringing in £21,000.

The painting was made using a wheelchair as a brush by a group of children from the hospice, including Liam Ashton, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Jason Newton, managing director at Redrow NW, said: "We raised an incredible amount of money for Claire House, I can’t thank everyone enough for their support and donations to this amazing hospice."

"I’d like to thank everyone who attended, from our Redrow colleagues and their families, to our loyal sub-contractors and suppliers."

Claire House Children's Hospice, in Bebington, Wirral, provides specialist nursing and end-of-life care, alongside emotional support, for seriously and terminally ill children and young adults.
