At Teesside Hospice, we're on a mission to ensure people of the Tees Valley have access to the very best end of life care, and that they and their families receive compassion and support when they need it most.
It costs £18,500 per day to run our services, and we receive less than 30% of funding from statutory sources. Simply put, we couldn’t continue our work without the help of local businesses and organisations.
And help comes in all forms: financial donations, volunteering time with your team, taking part in our events and simply spreading the word all make a huge difference to us.
But with so many priorities as a team and organisation, why should you add charity support to the list?
For your team
Showing your team that you’re an organisation that cares about the community it operates in can be a huge pull in terms of staff retention, attitude and wellbeing.
According to research from Charities Aid Foundation, more than half (54%) of employees surveyed said that working for an employer who supports charities increases their sense of pride in working there. Plus, 51% of employees reported feeling more loyal to an employer who donates to charity.
For your ESG goals
Not only does corporate support provide a huge boost to our hospice, it’s also a vital tool for your ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategy and meeting your goals.
Charity support aligns with the pillars of ESG and helps to demonstrate your commitment to responsible practices, beyond growth and profit.
For your community
By supporting a charity, you’re directly impacting people in the very community you work and live. We’re here for everyone across the Tees Valley, so it could be your friend, neighbour, hairdresser, dog walker and more that your support is benefitting.
From April 2024 – March 2025, we were able to:
Provide care for 170 admissions to our InPatient Unit
Deliver 1,821 counselling appointments
Receive 2,440 patient contacts through our Wellbeing Centre
And 3,644 appointment contacts in our Lymphoedema Clinic
And our donors and supporters have been crucial in making that possible.
