"Liverpool has been crowned the UK's most generous city for the second consecutive year, according to figures from fundraising platform GoFundMe. The Merseyside city topped the list, which ranks locations based on donor numbers relative to population, demonstrating a consistent charitable spirit. A prominent local appeal was for toddler Sienna-Rose Millen, whose family needed over 100,000 for a private medical flight after she collapsed on holiday in Mexico. Elsewhere in Merseyside, more than 370,000 was raised for a new playground at Churchtown Primary School."
