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.
GS-JJ recently gifted us with a custom set of stickers, each displaying a QR code that directs to our donations page. We are displaying these stickers on our collection buckets and tins when we’re out and about fundraising, making donating to our hospice as accessible as possible.
Now people can donate their spare change or scan the code and donate directly from their phone!
GS-JJ spoke about what motivated this gift saying: "At GS-JJ, we are deeply moved by the compassionate care and dignity that Teesside Hospice brings to individuals and families during life's most challenging moments. It is a true honour to support their vital work with our custom stickers, hoping to bring a small touch of brightness and connection to their community."
We would like to thank GS-JJ for their contribution to our cause, and you can find out more about them here.

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.
