A massive thank you to the Whinney Banks Primary School kids for gifting us their Hug in a Mug project as part of Big Kids Boro Cereal recently! It all started with Lucas, who shared that his lovely grandma was in our hospice. Because of this, they supported us with this project and we couldn't be more grateful!
Each mug was filled with lots of goodies from hot chocolate and biscuits to tea bags and bookmarks and they have gone down a real treat to those staying in our hospice!
The kids also did a great presentation on the day to our nurses and staff to present the mugs to us and proudly tell their story about the project and why they chose to support us, and it was truly a fantastic day.
Thank you again, Whinney Banks Students, your support has gone such a long way!
We're changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness.
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.
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.
