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.
Our staff and volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and their passion, care, and dedication are what make our hospice such a special place. To mark the week, we sat down with a few members of our team to ask what makes them happy at work:
Our Wellbeing Nurse Carol shared: “I get the chance to make a difference and help our Wellbeing patients feel special.”
Our Events Fundraiser Natalie shared: “I am helping provide families with the same support and care my family were given in 2017.”
We’re so grateful to every single member of our team, both staff and volunteers, for bringing all of their kindness and happiness to our hospice every day! Thank you for everything you do.
We're changing lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness.

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.
