Help us say yes.

This summer, we’re celebrating our hospice and all of the amazing things that we say ‘yes’ to for our patients and their families.

At Teesside Hospice, our mission is to help families make the most of everyday, creating lasting memories and experiences. That’s why we say ‘yes’ to bringing your pets into the hospice, ‘yes’ to rallying up classic cars to reminisce on your favourite hobby, ‘yes’ to fulfilling your last wish and so much more...

Sophia & Stephen’s Wedding Blessing

Dr Deane’s ‘Say Yes’ story brought together our patient Sophia and her husband Stephen by helping them arrange a wedding blessing during her final days with us. 

Sophia’s husband Stephen shared “I owe the hospice a lot, because this hospice is the reason I get to say that Sophia was my wife. And that means a lot because it wouldn’t have happened without the hospice.

Dr Deane took me into a room, sat me down and said I'm really sorry, but we're at the end of life now. Without going into the details, he said, and now we've got a wedding to arrange. And boy did they do that. 

The minister came at 3pm, we got a bouquet of flowers, we got a cake like no other cake with flowers around it, Sophia’s brother got his camera for her wedding photos, and we had garlands on either side of her drip stands. It was a remarkable day.”

Deane felt privileged to help make this happen, and showcases what the power of saying ‘yes’ can bring to families at Teesside Hospice.

But in order to continue saying ‘yes’ to the families of Teesside, we need your help. It currently costs £6.75 million annually to run our services, that’s almost £18,500 every 24 hours. With just 30% of funding coming from statutory sources and costs continuously rising, we need to raise the rest ourselves in order to provide care at no cost to our patients, so we can say ‘yes’ to the things that matter to them.
