We have been providing regular respite and palliative care to babies and children since we opened in July 2011, and we are very proud to now serve 30 families in the Midlands area, who benefit from our facilities. These families often cannot access this kind of regular support anywhere else, and we are pleased to say that you, as a supporter of Zoë’s Place will help us to keep running for many years to come.

Funded almost entirely by public support, we’d like to emphasise that not only do we value each and every supporter, but we know that it’s not just the challenge that you are undertaking, but talking about us, fundraising for us, and making sure that all of your sponsors know what they are donating towards!

The term ‘Palliative Care’ refers to pain and symptom management, which is extremely important, particularly in children who can’t necessarily communicate their symptoms accurately.

With 5 cot rooms, we are able to accommodate up to 6 babies aged 0-5 at any one time, whose complex needs will be cared for on a one-to-one basis, 24 hours a day. Babies can stay for up to 2 weeks, enabling their families to gain a well-earned rest from their full time care routine. At Zoë’s Place we are proud to offer the use of our multi-sensory room, soft-play room, and hydrotherapy bath which are hugely beneficial, but difficult to organise in a home environment. We hope that the equipment at the hospice will not only ease the conditions of our babies and infants, but ease the strains put on their families too. Our garden is fully landscaped, including sensory areas such as a beautiful water feature, wildlife haven, and outdoor play materials and equipment.

We have been supported in many ways by the local community and by local businesses, and hope that we will be able to grow and develop in Coventry over the next few years. Your support is vital to our existence; our hospice supports local services, families, and helps to keep our community safe and accessible, whilst bringing people together through events and fundraising
