Holding out for a hero…

A room full of the very best people on Teesside – that’s what we had when we gathered together more than 30 of our Teesside Heroes of the past seven years.

We’re talking about those selfless, amazing folk who raise funds, give their time and do so much for others.

We were overwhelmed to welcome them when we celebrated seven years of our Teesside Heroes Award.

To mark the occasion, more than 30 recipients of the award from through the years joined patrons for a celebration afternoon tea.

A wonderful time was had by all, and it was worth the hard work it took our team to get everyone together when we discovered that each of our Heroes is still doing their amazing work for their communities.

If you know someone who is worthy of a Teesside Hero award, why not nominate them at diane.w@teessidecharity.org.uk? As well as a trophy, a donation of £1,000 will be made to the Hero’s chosen charity.
