A Liverpool baby hospice has been saved after the city helped raise vital funds for a new home.

Zoe’s Place, a charity that cares for children with life-limiting conditions from birth to the age of five, was founded in Liverpool in 1995 by Prof Jack Scarisbrick. The name was chosen because Zoe means “gift of life” in Greek. The charity needed to raise £5m in a matter of weeks to find a new building to call home, while an extra £1.4m was needed to help the hospice stay open in the meantime.
