Admiral Taverns Supports Claire House

Admiral Taverns raised an incredible £80,000 for Claire House Children’s Hospice in 2025. They kicked off their fundraising last year with Admiral employees, family and friends embarking on a 21.6km walk starting at Delamere Station and finishing at the Little Oak in Chester, part of Admiral’s Proper Pubs division. The walk alone 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 from November 10 to December 21. Events ranged from Christmas jumper days to Christmas raffles with one pub, The New Inn in Mansfield, raising £1,000. As a result of this initiative, Proper Pubs successfully raised and donated an incredible £16,310 to Claire House just before Christmas.

Chris Jowsey, CEO of Admiral Taverns, said: “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. 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.

"Over the last year, everyone at Admiral Taverns, from head office employees to the field-ops team, licensees and operators, have come together to raise money for this fantastic charity and I’m truly in awe of the astonishing efforts. I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved in our fundraising mission over the last year and of course I am incredibly grateful for the remarkable generosity of our communities up and down the country.”

Admiral announced Claire House as its chosen charity partner at the start of 2025, committing to a two-year partnership and already have amazing plans for 2026.
