But the hospice said the cost of building a new hospice had spiralled from the original estimate of £3.5m to in excess of £5m.
Ian Byrne, the independent MP for West Derby, said setting up the Liverpool charity was the “right way forward” to ensure the longevity of the service that was needed.
He said: “It’s a charity we are going to create, based in Liverpool and for Liverpool.
“The aim is an absolute focus on Zoe’s Liverpool. Zoe’s Place is an unbelievably remarkable charity.”
Mr Byrne has written to Chancellor Rachel Reeves about Zoe’s Place and the future of other children’s hospices, which are in a similar situation.
“We are here because we have potentially seen a closure, many hospices will be in this position, we need an honest conversation to make sure that the services are protected.”
