Claire House Children's Hospice is a children's hospice in Merseyside. It provides specialist nursing care and emotional support to seriously and terminally ill children aged 0–23 years. Since its establishment in 1998, the hospice has served children and young people in Merseyside, Cheshire, and North Wales.

The organization operates two sites: a hospice in Bebington, Wirral, and the Hub in West Derby, Liverpool, which offers day care services. Support can be provided at Claire House or at home, and is available for the child, young person, or family members.

Claire House Children's Hospice has gained recognition through its appearances on Children in Need in 2011, 2014, and 2016. It also boasts high-profile supporters such as Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney.

As of 2017, the charity provides care for over 200 babies, children, and young people, and supports more than 200 bereaved families. In July 2015, Claire House was rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission.

The hospice in Wirral operates 24/7 and offers a range of services, including a multi-sensory room, art room, hydrotherapy pool, and jacuzzi for children to enjoy. There is also a separate wing equipped with a bar, sound system, and Xbox for teenagers and young adults. Claire House also provides end-of-life care, ensuring that a child's last days are as comfortable and memorable as possible.

In 2016, the charity acquired a site in West Derby, Liverpool, which was formerly a Carmelite Monastery. The Claire House Liverpool Hub opened in the summer of 2017, providing services such as counseling, holistic therapies, and hospice-to-home support. Claire House aspires to eventually establish a new state-of-the-art hospice on the site to reach more children in Merseyside.
