Tom Wood originally founded Help4HomelessHeroes. Tom’s aim is to provide a ‘Service of Care’ for veterans who for whatever reason find themselves vulnerable and living rough. To avoid any confusion to the public, the Charity Commission or the high profile charity he considered it would be in the best interest of all concerned to change the name of the charity to:

Why not run for one of our chosen UK Charities
Laughter, positivity and care, that’s what Claire House is all about.
Located on the Wirral, we look after families from across Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales, West Lancashire and the Isle of Man and provide a home-from-home environment for children and young people, helping enrich their lives so they can live them to the full.
The hospice provides respite and end-of-life care for children and young adults with life-limiting medical conditions. We’re also there for their entire family, providing support and counselling for as long as is needed.
But our work extends far beyond the hospice grounds. Our specialist nursing team also work in the community through our Hospice to Home scheme, which offers care and support in the family home.
We currently look after 160 families, with each child coming to Claire House for 17 nights a year. During their stay with us, each child has at a minimum of one-to-one care. They can spend time in our hydrotherapy pool, enjoy a music therapy session, sing karaoke in The Den or take part in arts and crafts therapy. And the whole family can be there with them, with private bedrooms and a lounge for Mum and Dad to unwind and take a break from their roles as carers.
