We’re changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who’ve been affected by a terminal illness.
We help them to make the most of every day, ensuring they receive the best possible care by creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
Everybody gets treated as an individual, whether it’s physical, mental or emotional support they need from us. We support people to stay as independent as possible, for as long as possible.
We’re bringing people together. From patients, family and friends to our clinical team, counsellors, staff, volunteers and our fundraisers. We make sure that everyone gets to live well until the very end.
We were founded by local people and will always be here for local people. We understand their lives, the community and culture so we are incredibly well placed to offer highly personalised levels of care.
The people that we care for are at the heart of everything we do.
Our holistic approach to care means we treat every person as an individual, and our care extends to relatives and friends, both during their loved one's illness, and through bereavement.
We will always discuss our care plans and suggested treatments with our patients and before any member of staff examines of treats a patient, they seek permission or consent.
Our specialist care is led by our Consultant in Palliative Medicine supported by doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, dieticians, social workers, physiotherapists, complementary therapists, chaplains and counsellors.
An army of staff and volunteers make up Team Teesside, all working together to ensure we are delivering the best possible care.
We work in partnership with health and social care professionals in the wider area too, including GPs and district nurses.
All of our services are free of charge to our patients, their families and carers.
Each year it costs £3.2 million to support over 3000 people across Teesside. With NHS funding covering around a third of this, the rest of our work is funded by individuals, organisations, businesses and foundations who support us. We need to raise £5,600 each and every day to keep our services running.
We couldn't do it without our local community. Thank you.
