Rob what is the situation with Zoe’s place as we all saw the reminders during the match how precarious their future was do how has this effected them.
 
My daughter is a nurse at Zoe's place, they are closed down at the moment. They were struggling a while back as a lot of big donors were holding back due to Brexit. I don't know if that situation has eased yet. They have to work harder than some places because they are 100% charity funded and get nothing from the NHS.
 
Thanks

have they been able to tap onto this charity money that is new seemingly available to help charities through the crisis.
 
This is a fundraising initiative for another of the area's hospices - and all of them are almost entirely dependent on public charity. At present with no charity shops open and no major events like London Marathon which should have happened yesterday these online fundraisers are essential.

Help all hospices.

However, Butterwick and Teesside Hospices each receive 30% of their funding from the NHS.
Zoe's place has three sites, Middlesbrough, Liverpool and Coventry and they rely almost totally on donations.

Edit: my original post said that Zoe's rely 100% on donations but they get a little from NHS.

What on earth is wrong with you? Zorro asked about Zoe's place and I answered. Is this site a place where we can discuss football and other topics or just an initiative for Teesside Hospice?
