The top fundraising appeal based out of Liverpool was for toddler Sienna-Rose Millen, whose family needed to raise more than \u00a3100,000 for a private medical flight after she collapsed while on holiday in Mexico.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in Merseyside, more than \u00a3370,000 was raised for a new playground for Churchtown Primary School, in memory of pupils Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Bebe King, six, who were killed along with seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe in the Southport knife attack July 29 last year.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser was the fourth-biggest campaign on the crowdfunding platform in 2025.<\/p>\n
GoFundMe chief executive Tim Cadogan said: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen people across the UK help each other in extraordinary ways this year, and Liverpool taking the top spot once again is a testament to the generosity of its community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The most generous city rankings, published on Thursday, saw Glasgow in second place and London third, with Cardiff and Bristol taking up fourth and fifth positions.<\/p>\n
Norwich came in sixth place and Manchester in seventh, while Belfast was number eight in the list and Edinburgh number nine.<\/p>\n
Wrexham in North Wales made GoFundMe\u2019s top 10 most generous cities for the first time following a campaign by mother Jasmin Roberts, who needed to raise \u00a31.5 million for her one-year-old son Ollie to have heart surgery in the US.<\/p>\n
Ollie is due to have the surgery at Stanford Children\u2019s Hospital in California in January after the fundraising target was reached.<\/p>\n
The campaign was the biggest fundraiser globally this year based on number of donations and was supported by Hollywood actor and Wrexham AFC co-chairman Ryan Reynolds, who donated \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GoFundMe ranked the Merseyside city at the top of its list, based on the number of donors and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58177,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-58176","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reading","8":"tag-reading-city","9":"tag-reading-city-headlines","10":"tag-reading-city-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
