**BREAKING NEWS: Paul McCartney Donates £3 Million to Fulfill Late Father’s Dream — A Shelter for Homeless Teens in Liverpool**
Liverpool, England — September 5, 2025
Legendary musician and former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, has donated £3 million to fund the construction of a shelter for homeless teenagers in his hometown of Liverpool — a heartfelt tribute to his late father, Jim McCartney.
The shelter, to be named *Jim’s Place*, will provide safe housing, mental health support, educational resources, and job training for vulnerable youth. The project fulfills a long-standing dream of McCartney’s father, who was deeply committed to community and youth welfare.
“Growing up, my dad always spoke about the importance of giving young people a chance, especially those who had nothing,” McCartney said in a statement. “This shelter is my way of honoring his memory and giving back to the city that gave me everything.”
*Jim’s Place* is expected to open its doors in late 2026 and will be managed by a partnership between the Liverpool City Council and local charity *Youth Horizons*. The facility will house up to 80 teens at a time, providing a safe haven and a fresh start.
Local leaders and charities have praised McCartney’s generosity. “This is more than a donation — it’s a legacy,” said Youth Horizons director Karen Phillips. “Paul’s commitment will change countless lives.”
Construction on the site, located near the Toxteth area where McCartney grew up, is set to begin later this year. The design will include communal spaces, therapy rooms, classrooms, and a music studio — a nod to the McCartney family’s passion for music.
For Sir Paul, the project is both personal and purposeful. “My dad believed every young person deserves dignity and a future,” he said. “This shelter is about hope — and love.”
