From our beginnings in 1982 all the way through to 2022, we've continued to change lives across Teesside by supporting people and families who've been affected by terminal illness, whether it's end of life care, supporting people to live well alongside their illness, or through anticipatory and grief counselling.
We help indiviuals to make the most of every day, ensuring they receive the best possible care by creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
Everybody gets treated as an individual, whether it's physical, mental or emotional support they need from us. We support people to stay as independent as possible, for as long as possible.
We're bringing people together, from patients, family and friends to our clinical team, counsellors, staff, volunteers and our fundraisers. We make sure that everyone gets to live well until the very end.
We were founded by local people and will always be here for local people. We understand their lives, the community and culture so we are incredibly well placed to offer highly personalised levels of care.
Personal Qualities we look for in a volunteer:
- Tact and sensitivity
- Excellent communication skills
- Commitment to the Teesside Hospice volunteering service
- Ability to work as part of the team
- Polite and approachable
- Professional approach
