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.
Here's why Adam loves volunteering for our fundraising team and at our Linthorpe charity shop:
“Volunteering for Teesside Hospice has given me so many opportunities to build work skills, meet new people and engage with the community in meaningful ways. It’s amazing to be able to approach new challenges in a friendly and supportive environment. While I get to help others in fundraising and on the shop floor, I feel I’m also helping myself grow and improve my skills for the future in a fun, productive way.”
Adam is just one of the incredible people making a difference here at Teesside Hospice. Volunteering is more than just giving your time, it's a chance to boost your confidence, make new friends and develop new skills.
Whether it’s helping in our retail shops, a volunteer opportunity at our hospice, or supporting our events, there’s a role for everyone!

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.
