Zoe's Place

HMS staff took part in a charity event with the local branch of Frankie and Bennie restaurant to raise money for the Zoë's Place Trust.

Zoë's Place Trust is a registered charity providing palliative respite and end of life care to babies and infants aged from birth to five years suffering from life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. This care will be provided in a caring, safe, home from home environment known as 'Zoë's Place Baby Hospices'.

Zoë's Place Liverpool was the first Zoë's Place Baby Hospice in the UK and has now been in operation for 16 years, caring for babies with life-limiting or life threatening conditions. The Hospice does not have a set catchment area and welcomes babies from all over the UK.

Zoë's Place currently cares for 50 babies and their families on a one to one basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Zoë's Place relies upon the generosity of the public, grant making trusts and our corporate partners to raise our current running costs of £1,200,000 per annum.

HMS Managing Director Paul Worthington said, "The team were really keen to take part and donate to such a worthwhile cause. The company supported the event organised by the restaurant as HMS is keen to contribute to local charities like this".
