The future of the region's only baby hospice looks bleak with donations plummeting by more than half since the beginning of lockdown.

Zoe's Place in Coventry has also been badly affected by the cancellation of fundraising events.

The charity has restructured and made 40% of their staff redundant, but says it's relying on the public to ensure its survival.

Gina Harris, head of nursing at the hospice, said: "The impact of Covid has been the reduction in the service that can offer... unless we get some more support or a real boost to our income I think we will end up closing."

How sad its become that this so called virus is affecting children that have needs . People loosing their jobs which will have a knock on effect of loosing their homes not affording food bills and mortgages for their own families nor will be able to afford donations for places like Zoe's Place any more. Lets hope they get some donations from government as its them that have caused this down turn .
