Teesside Hospice

What Teesside Hospice does

Teesside Hospice is a registered charity (No. 512875) founded in 1982 and headquartered at 1 Northgate Road, Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, employing 51–100 staff and operating on a not-for-profit basis. It delivers specialist palliative and end-of-life care to people affected by terminal illness across Teesside, offering a holistic service mix that spans inpatient care, a wellbeing centre, an outreach programme, bereavement support, and a lymphoedema clinic; the hospice supported approximately 4,000 people in its most recent reporting year, and services are provided free of charge at a stated operating cost of £20,500 per day. Its strategic footprint is set to widen materially via an agreed-in-principle 2025 merger with Butterwick Hospice, which would extend care delivery across Tees Valley and County Durham.

The organisation's business model is donation-led: it requires approximately £7.5 million annually to remain operational, with government funding covering an estimated 25% of running costs and the remaining 75% derived from a diversified voluntary income base. Revenue streams include charitable donations, corporate partnerships (including Charity-of-the-Year, sponsorship, volunteering, match funding, and gifts in kind), a weekly lottery, charity retail shops (with an eBay channel and furniture collection), events fundraising (Midnight Walk, Forget-Me-Not Appeal, Rudolph Run, Tea for Teesside), regular giving, gifts in wills (which alone generated £897,145 in 2023/24), giving-in-memory programmes, and major giving/grants and trusts. Distribution is regional, with direct clinical service delivery at the Middlesbrough site complemented by community outreach and a Northgate Tea Room, while marketing relies on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, email, and community/school outreach.

Technology surface is intentionally narrow and non-clinical: payment/donation integrations (Stripe, JustGiving), an eBay storefront for pre-loved retail, and a standard CMS-driven website. No proprietary platforms, API offerings, AI/ML capabilities, or software products are evident, reflecting the charity's focus on direct human care and volunteer-driven fundraising rather than technology-led service delivery.
