City crowned UK’s ‘most generous’ again by fundraising platform

  • Liverpool has been named the UK's most generous city for the second consecutive year by GoFundMe, based on donor numbers relative to its population.
  • Significant local fundraising efforts included over £100,000 for toddler Sienna-Rose Millen's medical flight and more than £370,000 for a playground in memory of children killed in the Southport knife attack.
  • The playground fundraiser was highlighted as the fourth-biggest campaign on the crowdfunding platform, showcasing the community's charitable spirit.
  • Glasgow and London secured second and third place respectively, with Cardiff, Bristol, Norwich, Manchester, Belfast and Edinburgh also featuring in the top ten.
  • Wrexham entered the top ten for the first time, largely due to a £1.5 million campaign for one-year-old Ollie's heart surgery, which received a £10,000 donation from Ryan Reynolds.
