Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice is delighted to announce that award-winning LCV sales and conversion business, CPD Bodies, has chosen us as their official Charity Partner for 2026. This incredible commitment begins with a generous £10,000 donation, marking a powerful start to a partnership that will make a meaningful difference to the babies, children, and families we support across Teesside and the North East.

The partnership was confirmed during a recent visit to the hospice, where CPD Founder, Cathal Doocey, presented a symbolic cheque ahead of the donation being made this week, contributing to the long-term stability of our specialist care services.

During their visit, Cathal and Liam Doocey, Director of Production at CPD Bodies, were welcomed by our team members Ashleigh Ennion, Senior Corporate & Major Donor Fundraiser & Katie Hobbs, Corporate Fundraiser, who guided them through our specialist facilities. This included our therapy rooms, specialist equipment, family spaces, and peaceful palliative care suites. The visit offered the CPD team a close look at the expert nursing care, compassion, and comfort Zoe’s Place provides for babies and young children with life-limiting or complex conditions.

This announcement comes at a significant moment for Zoe’s Place, aligning with the Big Give Christmas Challenge, a national campaign where eligible donations may be doubled. CPD Bodies’ early commitment strengthens our visibility during this crucial fundraising period and helps ensure more families can access the care they need.

Throughout 2026, CPD Bodies will be supporting Zoe’s Place through a range of fundraising activities, volunteering opportunities, awareness initiatives, and participation in community and sporting events. Many members of the CPD team have already expressed interest in getting involved, with more company-wide initiatives to be announced in the new year.

At Zoe’s Place, we believe every child deserves love, joy, and dignity. Partnerships like this make that vision possible. If your organisation would like to join us in building a future of care and compassion, please contact Ashleigh Ennion at ashleigh.ennion@zoes-place.org.uk.
