Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, Middlesbrough
Our mission is to provide child centred care to babies and infants from birth to five years living with life-threatening/life-limiting conditions and on-going support to meet the needs of the family.
ABOUT US: 

Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice supports babies and young children who have complex illnesses or disabilities from birth to age five.

 

We work to ensure that very unwell children can enjoy the best possible quality of life and we support their families throughout their journey.

 

Our children’s hospices, based in Coventry and Middlesbrough, offer 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, our team of specialists work together to make every moment of childhood count.

 

As a charity, we provide our services free of charge to families who need us, relying on donations from the public. Find out how you can support us, or how to refer a child to our services.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

The core focus of our work is providing short break stays for children who are either very poorly or undergoing treatments which need intensive nursing. Stays can vary from day care, overnight stays to longer breaks which enables families to go on holiday.

We also offer end of life care for children. Our bereavement suites with overnight accommodation and specialist facilities mean families that choose to use our services are able to have precious time to say goodbye to their child.

OUR VALUES: 
To always put the child at the centre of everything we do
To ensure that every child gets the maximum benefit from each visit to the hospice through play, fun, therapy and sensory experiences.
To provide on-going support to all members of the family following bereavement.
Deliver the best effective care that our resources will allow
Respect and value the contribution of all staff, supporters, volunteers, parents and families.
