00:00A Liverpool children's hospice is appealing to the city to help raise £10 million towards a major expansion in West
00:08Derby.
00:09Clare House wants to transform the former Carmelite Monastery site on Honey's Green Lane into a round-the-clock care
00:16facility.
00:17The charity says it currently supports around 500 children and families, but expects that number to reach at least 1
00:24,000.
00:26Liverpool Council approved the plans in June, but the chief executive says permission was only the start.
00:32The full project is expected to cost £23 million, with donations needed to help fund the work.
00:39The hospice hopes to open in the summer of 2029.
