Update (6th Jan): This campaign was set up prior to Christmas 2007 and despite setting ourselves the lofty target of raising £1000 for the charity - donations by people on the forums managed to get to around £325 (including Gift Aid) by Christmas. The charity page will remain online until the end of the season to allow new users to help support a VERY worthwhile cause.
As Christmas approaches and we all start thinking about buying everyone in the world a present and telling everyone we don't need any more socks (actually I do though Mum!) I thought it was a real chance for us all to make a little bit of a difference this Christmas to some less fortunate than ourselves. Zoe's Place is a hospice in Liverpool for babies and young children aged from 0 to 5 years old, providing respite and palliative care and care for those with terminal illnesses. The organisation provides this care at no cost to the families.  It is a charitable organisation and receives little funding from the government. It costs in the region of £650,000 a year to continue to provide their care which not only gives the children, but also the families, lots of help and support. A page has been set up on a Charity website and all donations will go to the Hospice in Liverpool. I've set us the not unreasonable challenge of raising them £1000 before this Christmas with donations from us here on the website. Although I hope none of us ever need the services of such an organisation I think we all agree they perform an amazing job. No matter how much you can afford - it only takes a minute to make a difference to a lot of other people's lives.http://www.justgiving.com/lfcreds

Just done my donation, these people do such sterling work and largely go unrecognised.
Spot on JD for bringing this to our attention.
Being a Mum myself, subjects like this are close to my heart.

Absolutely. The work they do is more than amazing and really makes a huge difference to the children AND their families. Anything donated will be a massive help.
Let's stick together and make a difference.

If everybody on here just donates even a little bit, I'm sure we can reach the target.
Like Redkenny said, let's pull together and make a difference to the lives of these little children.

Agreed I have donated too, my son was in the special care bay unit in Exeter before he died, and all these people involved in the care of children do a fantastic job a worthy and wonderful cause.

Over 10% done now with Gift Aid donations on top. Well done to all those who have kick started this campaign.
The sooner we reach the target - the sooner I'll stop going on about it!

Cash card only at the moment mate, I changed banks recently & they won't let me get a debit card until I've been with them for 6 months. As for credit cards I won't be getting another one, those things are evil & make me do stupid things  So is there any way of paying apart from card? If not I'll put some money in the girlfriends account & pay off hers. |

10% reached after a couple of days excluding the Gift Aid donations. Great stuff!!  Let's hope we can keep picking away at that target before Christmas. We all know how us Liverpool fans are the best at sticking together and making a difference when it matters most. Anything you can afford to give will be a massive help to all the children and their families. Anything you can afford. |

As for credit cards I won't be getting another one, those things are evil & make me do stupid things Agreed, which leads me to...... I'll sort me finances out this week and then donate a tenner! I visited Zoe's Place when I was about 12 or 13 with school and have nothing but respect for what they do there! I lost me baby brother when I was younger so I understand how families would want their kids to be in the nicest place possible until the end. Keep up the good work guys! Dig deep! |

614 views and we have about 9 people who have donated?
I suppose you've all got your SKY, Broadband, overpriced Christmas tat to buy though first haven't you?
Please support the charity with your small donation.

Only people from Liverpool can donate?
I'd like to do that very much.
But I am not even from England!
Sorry, I would do anything, but in what way?
