00:00Clare House Hospice is asking Liverpool to help raise £10 million to transform its West Derby site into a round
00:08-the-clock children's hospice.
00:10The charity was given the former Carmelite Monastery in 2017 and received planning permission for the redevelopment this summer.
00:18The new facility could double the hospice's reach from around £500 to £1,000.
00:23Plans include two end-of-life care bedrooms, six respite bedrooms and private suites where families can spend time together
00:31after a child has died.
00:33Chief Executive David Pastor says distance has prevented some families accessing care.
00:38Demolition is expected to begin early next year, with day services temporarily relocated.
