ZOes place

In the lead up and during our 2024 awards evening we will be fundraising for Zoes Place in Liverpool.

Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice supports babies and young children who have complex illnesses or disabilities from birth to age five. They work to ensure that very unwell children can enjoy the best possible quality of life and support their families throughout their journey.

​The children’s hospice in Liverpool offers respite, palliative and end of life care for children, as well as support for the whole family. With a range of play therapies and fun activities, their team of specialists work together to make every moment of childhood count.
