We need your help for our Light up a Life appeal which raises tens of thousands of pounds each year!
If you didn't know, our Light up a Life appeal supports the hospice by supporters leaving a donation and dedication in memory of those they've lost.

What You'll Do: 

Christmas Tree Guardian Duties:

 

We promise this won't be a taxing mission – instead, it's a chance to meet our band of merry supporters and make a meaningful impact on the lives we touch here at Teesside Hospice. As a Christmas Tree Guardian your primary responsibilities will include:

 

1.            Christmas Tree Watch: Be the watchful eye over our beautiful Christmas Tree. Your presence alone will help deter any anti-social behaviour.

2.            Christmas Tree Care: Ensure the Christmas Tree and area around it remains pristine and litter-free, creating a peaceful oasis for all to enjoy.

3.            Christmas Tree Protectors: Our Light up a Life Christmas tree decorations and dedications are delicate items. Politely inform visitors not to touch the tree, the decorations and the dedications, ensuring their safety.

4.            Christmas Tree Badge Sales: Don't forget to showcase our Christmas spirit by selling our charming Christmas Tree – Teesside Hospice branded sparkly Christmas tree pin badges during your shift!

 

 

Volunteer Shifts:

 

We’re looking for volunteers between the hours of 10am - 4pm, every day from the 16th of November to the 24th of December. Whether you can do a few hours, or a couple of days, we’d be so grateful for your help! We need help every day possible to ensure our Light up a Life appeal continues to shine brightly across Teesside for those who've lost their loved ones.

Why You'll Love It: 
If you're looking for a unique way to give back and protect our delicate Christmas trees and interact with our supporters in the public, you're in for a treat! From the 16th of November our first tree will be in the Hill Street Shopping Centre, and from the 17th the next tree will be placed in the Parkway Shopping Centre. We need Christmas Tree Guardians to support us with this event.
