12 years ago, 2 Wirral angling clubs (Wirral Borough AC & Rivacre AC) held an angling match competing for a small trophy and raising funds for Claire House Children’s Hospice.

Soon after it became a three way challenge with Egremont Ferry AC joining the competition. Over 4 years, the annual event managed to raise over £14,000.

In 2016 the event became even bigger thanks to the efforts of Colin Cook - with even more local clubs competing and with the support of local tackle shops, local fisheries and local press.

Last year we raised a fantastic £20,500 bringing the overall total since 2012 to £148,000.

The event is being held again this year on Sunday 3rd November across 5 local fisheries with the hope being that the total raised will continue to grow.

Claire House helps parents create wonderful experiences for their children and bring back a sense of normality to family life. By providing specialist nursing care and emotional support, Claire House helps families smile again when life couldn’t get any tougher.

All donations to this fantastic cause are gratefully received and will be really appreciated by the team at Claire House and of course the children and their families.

Your money can make a real difference to a family who urgently need more support.
