Our Head of Corporate Development Julie Burniston and Head of Fundraising Channon Barlow were thrilled to spend an afternoon with the team from AV Dawson recently – showing them around our amazing Hospice and celebrating their decision to become our latest Corporate Partners.
AV Dawson is a multimodal freight logistics and port operator based on the River Tees which specialises in port activities, logistics handling and transporting bulk materials, heavy goods, and oversized cargo. The group serves various industries including construction, energy, renewables and manufacturing.
Representing the Group were Chairman Gary Dawson, Deputy Chairman John Young, Group Financial Director Louise Croce and Communications Business Partner Lucy Tyreman - and their visit certainly struck a chord, with each impressed and moved by the work we do.
Following the visit, Gary Dawson said: “The AV Dawson Group is proud to become a corporate partner of Teesside Hospice.
“Our business was founded less than 900m away from the Hospice, and our values and purpose are closely aligned.
The charity is an integral part of the Teesside community and the work they do is vital so many people.
I look forward to seeing our partnership flourish.”
Welcome to #Team Teesside AV Dawson – we’re delighted to have you onboard!
We're changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness.
We’re so lucky to be supported by amazing volunteers over the festive season, who help us provide care, offer a friendly welcome for visitors, and much more. This includes Dawn, who has been volunteering with Teesside Hospice for 4 years and gives up her time on Christmas Day to help patients and visitors feel as special as possible.
"In November 2023, life was going to plan. As a family, we’d had a lovely summer, we’d moved into our family forever home, and everything just felt perfect. Little did we know that 2 weeks later, our lives would be torn apart..."
We’d like to say a huge thank you to corporate supporter Ramsdens for funding a whole day of care at Teesside Hospice – a remarkable contribution of £18,500!
