This , we're shining a spotlight on an incredible journey from one of our Wellbeing Nurses, Lyndsey 💜
Lyndsey began volunteering at Teesside Hospice in January 2024, by supporting our reception team with admin tasks and greeting visitors. Before long, the Wellbeing team took her under their wing when they found out about her amazing career as a nurse, which led to sparking Lyndsey's passion following a career break to return to practice here at Teesside Hospice in October 2025!
Through her return to practice and studies, Lyndsey is now a proud member of the Teesside Hospice Wellbeing Team, where she supports individuals to be empowered, stay independent, manage their symptoms, support their emotional wellbeing and help them feel more confident in managing their own care.
Lyndsey shared "Through volunteering with the amazing wellbeing team, this empowered me to take control and return to a career I was born to do. Staff, volunteers, and all of the patients are so kind and welcoming, and you really feel like home from the moment you step in the building."
From volunteer to staff nurse in just 2 years, Lyndsey's journey is nothing short of inspiring. This Volunteers Week, we're celebrating her success and the amazing opportunities that volunteering at our hospice can bring to local people ✨
