We are incredibly grateful to Jen for fundraising in memory of her Aunty Kay who received care at Teesside Hospice.

“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.

If you’d like to learn more about how you can fundraise for us, get in touch with our team today on 01642811145 or emaul us at fundraising@teessidehospice.co.uk
