“My name is Cyril Chesson, and I was brought into the Teesside Hospice Wellbeing Centre to chat to other men and make new connections.
I attend the Men’s Wellbeing Arms group on a Tuesday morning for two hours, and we do things like having a game of cards and dominoes which can get very competitive. I enjoy it and look forward to it every week.
Everybody here is so friendly, and I’ve got to know so many men here going through similar experiences to me, as well as the brilliant nurses.
By coming here, I find that I’ve got company where I can come and chat to people without any stigmas.
My condition is that I’ve lost my left leg, and I’m unable to walk, which has closed a lot of things down in my life. But the main thing is, groups like this still allow me to get out there and try new things.”
Last year, our wellbeing team supported 216 patients just like Cyril. Thank you for your incredible support!
We're changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness.
Hospice care is more than you think – it’s love, kindness and friendship. Ahead of this year’s Hospice Care Week, we spoke to Margaret and Wayne, who formed a bond while both staying on our In-Patient Unit.
In September, Eastgate Engineering teamed up with THREE60 Energy for a joint charity golf day in support of our hospice!
Thank you so much to Matthew and the team for continuing to go above and beyond to support our care, we couldn't do what we do without companies like yours.
