The following information concerns what is called a ‘P’ Pod. Basically the chair is individually moulded to suit individuals. Zoe’s Hospice have calculated the average size of their babies which therefore makes it more usable. Here is some more detailed information.

We are delighted to announce that the Boundary 500 Motorcycle group have become Patrons of our special hospice!
The group has tirelessly fundraised for Zoe’s Place for many years now, and their dedication and support has been invaluable.
The announcment was made at Kirkleatham Hall on Saturday the 18th of February when the group presented Mark Guidery, Chief Executive of Zoe’s Place with a cheque for £22,501.39 which was raised from the groups annual Santa Motorbike ride.
In December more than 100 bikers donned Santa suits and delighted the crowds young and old as they drove through Teesside in a spectacularly colourful cavalcade from Thornaby through to their final destination of Kirkleatham Hall. The riders all raised sponsorship which resulted in the fabulous donation which will be a huge help to the hospice.

Message from our Rachael at Zoë’s Baby Hospice
Hi Everyone,
In my wisdom I’ve decided that I am going to take part in this year’s Marathon of the North. On Sunday 6th May I will be challenged with a grueling 26.2 mile run around Sunderland. I have no doubt that this will be extremely challenging, even painful but I’ve set myself a goal and I intend to finish with a huge smile on my face!!!
I am hoping to raise £500 in sponsorship for Zoe’s Place- Middlesbrough. As I’m sure you are all aware I have worked as a fundraiser for Zoe’s Place for many years now, it’s an amazing charity caring for so many families throughout the UK. It costs in excess of £1 million each year just to open the doors here at Zoe’s and as we receive just a small amount of local funding every penny raised really does make a difference.
So I’m asking that if you are able to do so please sponsor me using the justgiving link below, not only will the money raised go towards vital care for our babies, but it will give me that extra incentive to “keep calm and carry on” when the going gets tough on my 26.2mile journey.
