## A Special Place with a Powerful Mission

We were kindly welcomed by Cheryl, who gave us a heartfelt tour of the facilities. From the outset, it was clear just how much love, care, and compassion goes into everything that Zoe’s Place offers. The hospice provides a peaceful, comforting space for families, featuring areas such as The Hive, a welcoming room where teas, coffees, and cakes are served which doubles up as a beautiful event space. We also spent time in the Memorial Garden, a peaceful area where families can come to reflect and remember children who have sadly passed away. 

## Rolling Up Our Sleeves

Over time, the garden had become overgrown, with trees and shrubs beginning to cover some of the memorial features. Our volunteer [Jan, an experienced gardener](https://tibservices.co.uk/candidate-resource-hub/success-stories-jan), led the way in helping us to understand how to care for the various plants to ensure they thrive and regrow beautifully.

The team worked together to:

The difference between the garden before and after our visit was striking. Most importantly, the memorials are now visible and the space feels calm and open.

 

## Why it Matters

When we launched [our volunteering initiative](https://tibservices.co.uk/candidate-resource-hub/join-tib-services-new-community-volunteering-initiative) in 2024, we set out to provide our operatives with an additional opportunity to create a positive impact within their local communities. While our day-to-day work focuses on keeping schools running smoothly, opportunities like these allow our team to use their skills to give back and share experiences.

By helping with gardening, repairs, or [small renovations](https://tibservices.co.uk/candidate-resource-hub/decorating-with-purpose-giving-back-over-easter), we allow organisations like Zoe’s Place to spend their limited funds on essentials, such as fuel to reach families in need.

 

## Working with Purpose

If you’re someone who takes pride in your work and wants to use your practical skills for something more, [TIB Services](https://tibservices.co.uk/find-rewarding-work) could be the perfect fit. Whether it’s fixing a leaking tap at a school or helping renovate a hospice, our caretakers play a valuable role in both education and the wider community.

We don’t just hire for skills, we look for people with heart.
