Found this mention on Rootsweb
New's Boys Home, Everton Road, Mrs Elizabeth Johanson, Matron. (1895)
Also this mention on passenger lists of children going to Canada;
1897 May 5 Numidian News Boys' Home, Liverpool to Rev. Leslie, Winnipeg
I know it doesn't answer your question but this is all I could find. Have you tried the records office in Liverpool? They may have more information. Good Luck!
