Admiral celebrates funds raised for Claire House

Pub company Admiral Taverns has raised more than £80,255 for its charity partner Claire House Children’s Hospice, following a series of fundraising initiatives that took place throughout 2025.

Claire House helps seriously and terminally ill children to live life to the full by creating unforgettable experiences for the patients and their families. By providing specialist nursing, emotional support and end of life care, Claire House helps families through challenging times.

Admiral Taverns, which owns c. 1,350 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales, began its fundraising in May last year, with Admiral employees, family and friends embarking on a 21.6km walk that raised £50,000.

Activities continued into the festive season, with each Proper Pub operator being encouraged to host an array of fundraising events in aid of Claire House.

"Claire House is an amazing charity that truly goes above and beyond to help children and their families get through some of the toughest moments in their lives," says Chris Jowsey, CEO of Admiral Taverns. "It’s been an honour to learn more about the fantastic work the team do and in turn, support them in their extremely important mission."

Admiral announced Claire House as its chosen charity partner at the start of 2025, committing to a two-year partnership.

"We have been complete blown away by all the support that everyone at Admiral Taverns has given to Claire House over the year," adds Lewis Croft, corporate fundraiser at Claire House Children Hospice. "It really does mean the world to us and will make such a positive difference to the lives of our children and families."
