Teesside Hospice appoints partnerships manager

Middlesbrough-based charity Teesside Hospice has appointed Hassan Hameed as corporate partnerships manager to support growing demand for its services.

Hassan has joined the hospice to lead corporate development, nurturing relationships with existing partners while building new business support across Teesside. 

His role will focus on developing a corporate partnerships strategy aligned with the hospice’s mission to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible.

Prior to joining Teesside Hospice, Hassan worked as an executive manager at a recruitment firm, where he was responsible for business development, operations and finance.

Hassan said: “I’m looking forward to working with our amazing supporters, who share our vision to provide better end of life care to the people of Teesside. 

“I’m also looking forward to connecting with new businesses and fundraisers so we can make a real difference together.

“I have a personal connection to the hospice as some of my family members have used the services, and so I have a lot of respect and admiration for what the teams do here.

“With demand rising and it currently costing around £6.75 million annually to run the hospice, we simply couldn’t operate without the generosity of our supporters. 

“Every contribution means more than words can express.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know our current partners and meeting new ones across the region.”  

Based on Northgate Road, Teesside Hospice provides care, comfort and dignity to around 4,000 patients and their loved ones each year through its in-patient unit, wellbeing centre, bereavement counselling service and lymphoedema clinic.
