Our charity appeal that began in December 2007 eventually went on to raise over £2500 for Zoe's Place Childrens Hospice in Liverpool thanks to online donations from Liverpool fans like you, and also a Charity night.Although our donations page is now closed you can still donate direct to Zoe's Place online at
http://www.justgiving.com/charity/donate.asp?frsid=687578 Thanks to all Liverpool fans who supported this magnificent charity and continue to do so through various activities on the forum.
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.
