About Merseyrail
Merseyrail is a train operator in the Liverpool City Region of England. It operates the Merseyrail network, which consists of seven lines and 67 stations. Merseyrail is owned by Serco and Abellio, and it is part of the Merseytravel group of companies.
About Zoe's Place
Zoe's Place is a hospice for babies and infants up to the age of five. It provides palliative care and support to families who are facing the loss of a child. Zoe's Place has three hospices in the UK, located in Liverpool, Middlesbrough, and Sutton Coldfield.
'A Pound for Zoe's Place'
In September 2022, Merseyrail launched a new fundraising campaign called 'A Pound for Zoe's Place'. The campaign aims to raise £100,000 for Zoe's Place Liverpool by asking Merseyrail passengers to donate £1 when they purchase a ticket.
Merseyrail staff will be collecting donations at stations across the network. Passengers can also donate online at the Merseyrail website.
The 'A Pound for Zoe's Place' campaign will run until 31st March 2023. Merseyrail hopes to raise enough money to fund a new sensory room at Zoe's Place Liverpool. The sensory room will provide a space for babies and infants to relax and play in a stimulating environment.
How to Donate
There are three ways to donate to the 'A Pound for Zoe's Place' campaign:
1. Donate £1 when you purchase a ticket at a Merseyrail station.
2. Donate online at the Merseyrail website: www.merseyrail.org/tickets/fares-and-tickets/a-pound-for-zoes-place/
3. Text 'POUND' to 70085 to donate £1.
Merseyrail's Commitment to Zoe's Place
Merseyrail has a long-standing commitment to supporting Zoe's Place Liverpool. The train operator has been a major donor to the hospice for many years, and it has also provided free travel to families who are visiting Zoe's Place.
Merseyrail's 'A Pound for Zoe's Place' campaign is a great way for passengers to show their support for the hospice and to help make a difference to the lives of babies and infants who are facing the loss of a child.
