Story
I'm excited to announce our 4-man team (Hassan, Usman, Imran and Arif) will be participating in the Rallye du Soleil 2024. We depart on 9th September 2024 on our 2,000-mile road trip from Teesside to St Tropez, to raise funds for Teesside Hospice. This incredible organization provides essential care and support for individuals with terminal illnesses and their families.
About Teesside Hospice
Teesside Hospice is a charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients and their loved ones. With limited beds, the hospice provides a range of critical services, including:
Inpatient Care: Offering specialized medical care and emotional support.
Wellbeing Center: Focusing on holistic health and emotional well-being.

Bereavement Support: Helping families navigate their grief.
Lymphoedema Clinic: Providing specialized treatment and care.
It cost £16,000 a day to keep the hospice and its vital services running.
The Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted hospices across the UK, leading to funding challenges and the closure or reduction of services. Many hospices have struggled to maintain operations due to the increased demand for services and the decrease in fundraising opportunities.
The Need in Teesside
In the Tees Valley, hospice provision is limited, with only a few available beds to serve a population of over 670,000 people. The demand for hospice care far exceeds the current capacity, making it crucial to support organizations like Teesside Hospice.
Why Your Donation Matters
1 in 3 hospices have had to reduce their services due to funding issues.
Over 100 hospices in the UK have faced significant financial challenges.
Teesside Hospice relies on donations to provide care to over 3,000 patients and families each year.
How to Donate
Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference to those who need it. Your generous donations will help Teesside Hospice continue their amazing work, ensuring they can provide the highest quality care and support.
Thank you in advance for all your kind donations.
