and was well-supported by the people of Prescot. Knowsley and Rainhill. The event was held at Whittaker’s Garden
Centre in Prescot and made a profit of £ 5,000. The profits were shared between
Willowhrook Hospice in St Helens and Zoe’s Place, a unique hospice at Alder Hey
Children’s Hospital for babies aged between nought and five years.

has 75 people on their staff and rely on over 300 volunteers to look after a
hundred patients a year. Zoe’s Place is
the only hospice for this age
group in the country and receives no state aid. It plays a major role in supporting young married couples who are living through a major crisis in
their lives.
