Claire House Hero Awards
Our Claire House Hero Awards are a chance for young people to get involved with Claire House in different ways. Young people aged between 8-18 can choose from a variety of tasks to complete, including telling others about the work of Claire House, taking part in an event, helping at a Claire House shop and many more. Once completed, they receive a certificate and a badge. Click here to learn more.
Ways to fundraise
We have three main school fundraising events each year. Our Butterfly Bake in March, The Claire Bear 3k throughout the summer and Christmas Hat Day in December. Click here to find out more.
Or you can run your own event!
Let your imagination run wild. You could:
Hold a non-school uniform or dress up day, put on a quiz or disco, take on a challenge- maybe 100 push-ups or climb a mountain, sell toys or cakes or put on a show.
Whatever you choose to do, we can support you. Get in touch with fundraising@clairehouse.org.uk to let us know what your plans are and to request extra resources such as t-shirts and bucket labels.
School resources
We have a wide variety of ever growing resources for schools and young people below that you can use and adapt in any way you choose. If you would like any help or advice on how to use these resources, please get in touch by emailing fundraising@clairehouse.org.uk.

I can be ANYTHING project 
This project began after a group of Primary School pupils asked some amazing questions of our nurses in a virtual meeting. They were so interested in the jobs of our care team that we decided to ask a wide range of staff some questions with a focus on future careers. This pack can be used to look into different career paths in the charity sector and to learn more about Claire House!

Mental Health first aid kit– build a first aid kit that helps on the days where you don’t feel yourself.
