The money was raised by our Daresbury-based North West division through a series of fundraising activities and events. Our annual charity ball, held in November, raised £70,000 alone and colleagues also took part in the three peaks challenge, a golf day, Tough Mudder, quiz night and numerous office events from raffles to sweeps, fantasy football to pancake flipping.
Claire House Children’s Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill babies, children and young adults across Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales. It has two sites, a full hospice on the Wirral and a second site in Liverpool. The specialist team in West Derby provides day-care, complementary therapies, clinics, counselling and play and music sessions.
Dan Halliday, corporate fundraising manager at Claire House, said: "We are incredibly grateful to Redrow for their wonderful support and generosity. Over the past year, their efforts have raised more than £100,000 for Claire House Children's Hospice, making a significant impact on the lives of the children and families we care for.
“The highlight of their fundraising was the spectacular ball they held, which brought so many amazing businesses together to spread vital awareness for our hospice. Thank you, Redrow, for your dedication and commitment to Claire House."
Jason Newton, managing director at Redrow NW, said: “We are very proud to have raised such a tremendous amount of money for the hospice again this year.
“Funds have been raised by the team through a host of events over the year. Special thanks to our social committee and charity ball committee for helping to organise and host these events and to all of our employees, partners, suppliers and subcontractors who have donated so generously, we couldn’t have done it without them.
“The hospice team do an incredible job helping children and families here in the North West. We hope this donation helps the team in supporting children and their families in our communities.”
