“Before my Aunty Kay passed away in October, she shared her wish to make lavender bags to raise money for Teesside Hospice, the incredible organisation that supported her throughout her terminal cancer journey. Kay loved attending a craft club every Monday and would always text me about what she’d made that day.
As she can’t fulfill this wish, I’m taking it on in her memory. From January to April, I’ll be making and selling lavender heart bag sachets with all proceeds going to Teesside Hospice. A final donation will be presented on April 25th, which would have been Kay’s 60th birthday.”
We’d like to wish a huge thank you to Jen for all of her support in carrying on her Aunty Kay’s wishes of supporting Teesside Hospice.

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.
