General

Why did you change from Zoe’s Place?

In 2025, the Liverpool hospice became an independent charity, giving us the opportunity to choose a new name that reflected our future while honouring our history. ‘Little Lights’ represents the children at the heart of everything we do and the light they bring to their families and everyone around them. Although our name has changed, our team, care and commitment remain the same. We are proud to build on the legacy of Liverpool Zoe’s Place as we begin this exciting new chapter.

Where is Little Lights Liverpool?

Our hospice is located in West Derby, Liverpool and we support families across Liverpool and the surrounding region and further afield.  Full contact details and directions can be found on our Contact Us page.

Visits can often be arranged by appointment. If you’d like to learn more or discuss a visit, please get in touch with our team.
