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 2025 Midnight Walk was incredible – 700 people truly brought the energy and lit up the coast road. Thank you so much to everyone who took part, volunteered, supported Teesside Hospice and walked in memory of their loved ones.
Over £56,000 has been raised so far by people taking part in the Teesside Hospice Midnight Walk, with participants donning head boppers and walking 11km from Redcar to Marske and back– and sponsorship money is still to come in from many walkers!
We’re on a mission to ensure local people get the very best care at the end of life – and our Midnight Walkers have played a vital role in that. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the Midnight Walk – we’ll see you again next year!
You can still sponsor or donate to the Midnight Walk by visiting our Just Giving Page.
Thank you!

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.
