Shaftec targeting £30k of fundraising for Zoe’s Place


In 2024, Birmingham-based automotive remanufacturer Shaftec set an ambitious target: to raise at least £6,600 for Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice in Coventry.

The company now reports that it has not only met its goal, but surpassed it in spectacular fashion, raising £11,343.

To follow that, with Shaftec’s 30th anniversary taking place this year, the firm plans to raise £30,000 for this special occasion. Dubbed the ’30 for 30′ challenge, this target highlights the team’s dedication to giving back to the community and those who need it the most.

Operating from three locations in Coventry, Liverpool, and Middlesbrough, the children’s hospices are dedicated to offering respite, palliative, and end-of-life care to young ones.

The funds raised by Shaftec will directly benefit Zoe’s Place, helping them continue their vital work and providing comfort and care to families in need.

pride, with our work both in and out of the office. It has been an extraordinary year of fundraising for Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice.

“However, we want to take this even further than we ever thought possible, as we aim to reach a monumental £30,000 to commemorate our 30th anniversary as a company! We are embracing the challenge, and we know it is all worth it to further help an amazing charity in Zoe’s Place.”
