Janet’s Volunteering Story
Janet is one of our wonderful meal service volunteers, gifting her time to serve lunches to our in-patients. Here she shares how she became involved with Teesside Hospice, and what she enjoys about her role.
This amazing support means the world to us - and it all started with a heartfelt nomination from one of their employees, whose family has a long and meaningful connection to the Hospice.
Here’s what Mathew Marron, Data Scientist at Binding Solutions, had to say:
“At Binding Solutions, we pride ourselves on supporting local charities who make a difference to the lives of those in North East England. We hold a nomination process every year to give our employees chance to choose the charity we support. We are delighted to announce that we are supporting Teesside Hospice for 2025/26. This charity was nominated by one of our employees whose family has close ties to the hospice, from his grandmother working there when it first opened, to several family members having been patients. We look forward to working with Teesside Hospice over the next year to raise as much money as possible.”
It’s always inspiring to see companies giving back to their communities, and we’re so excited to be working together to raise vital funds and awareness for hospice care across Teesside.
We're changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness.

Previously, when Donna thought of the word hospice, she thought of dying – but that association changed after she became a patient. Donna shares how a stay on our In-Patient Unit has given her confidence and changed her misconceptions around hospice care.
Whether you’re looking to gain new skills or build on those you already have, volunteering can be a great way to broaden your knowledge. For Charlotte, who volunteers in our People Team, it was about building on the knowledge she’d gained on a recent course.
