Knowsley-based energy retrofitting firm Next Energy Solutions has pledged £60,000 as part of a major fundraising effort to raise £5 million to safeguard the future of Liverpool’s Zoe’s Place.

The hospice, which provides essential care to babies and children with life-limiting conditions, is facing a significant financial crisis, putting its services at risk.

While the £60,000 donation from Next Energy represents a substantial contribution, it is just the beginning of a wider community initiative to raise the full £5m needed to keep the hospice open and fully operational. With demand for Zoe’s Place services growing, this ambitious fundraising target is critical to securing its future.

Lee McNally and Michael Madigan, founders of Next Energy Solutions, said in a joint statement: “Zoe’s Place is woven into the fabric of Liverpool, offering comfort, care, and hope to families in their darkest moments. Our £60,000 donation alone won’t be enough to secure its future, but it’s a starting point.

“We’re calling on other businesses and individuals to join us in this effort – because this hospice belongs to all of us. When a place like Zoe’s Place is at risk, we all need to step up and protect it.”

Next Energy is also launching a JustGiving campaign to encourage further contributions from its employees, suppliers and the wider community. The goal is to amplify fundraising efforts and bring more people on board to help close the funding gap.

Zoe’s Place, located in West Derby, offers free-of-charge, round-the-clock palliative, respite, and end-of-life care for children with complex medical needs. The hospice has long relied on charitable donations to cover its operational costs, but without an immediate influx of funds, it faces closure within the year.

Those wishing to support this cause can find more details and donate through the Just Giving page, set up by Next Energy Solutions, here.
