Teesside Hospice Care Foundation based in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough was established in 1982 to enhance the lives of those suffering from life limiting illnesses in the Teesside region, free of charge.

Most people are surprised to learn that Teesside Hospice has annual running costs in excess of £2.2m, with around one third of this being provided by the local Primary Care Trusts this leaves approximately £4,400 needed to be raised each day of the year from the Hospice’s own resources.

The services offered by Teesside Hospice include: 10 bedded Inpatient Unit, 16 guest per day Edward & Glenis Guy Day Centre, working in partnership with specialist nurses, bereavement counselling service, children's 'Forget Me Not' bereavement counselling service, home & hospital visits, outpatient clinics and lymphoedema clinics.
