THE DREAM TEAM More than 100 big-hearted Teessiders braved horrendous weather to take part in our latest Big Teesside Sleepout, raising more than £20,000 – making it one of our most successful sleepout events. Ormesby Hall was the venue for the sleepout – our 14th since 2013, with more than 1,200 locals having now given up their warm beds for a night in the cold - raising around £170,000. Over £20,000 was pledged from the event which really will help to make a difference here on Teesside. The next Big Tees Sleepout takes place on October 16 2020 at Middlesbrough College.

Family and friends of our late friend Russ Devereux raised a whopping £3,561 by taking on and overcoming the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. All of the funds went towards the Russ Devereux Headlight Project, the community action group set up in Russ’s memory by his wife Catherine, promoting good mental health across Teesside schools. The challenge involved them climbing Yorkshire’s three highest peaks Whernside (736m), Ingleborough (724m) and Pen-Y-Ghent (694m) in less than 12 hours. The group included Russ’s uncle, Tony Devereux, Tony’s children Sean and Becky, and Russ’s friends Andy Smith, Karl Lane, Peter Welham, Connor Welham and Paul Syson.

WE GAVE THEM A RUN FOR OUR MONEY! It’s been quite a year for those willing to put their best foot forward to raise funds for our Foundation by taking part in a run. From a 5k right up to a marathon, a vast array of big-hearted fundraisers stepped out on our behalf. Our pictures give just a taste of those who took part in the Middlesbrough 10k, Great North Run, New York and Berlin marathons. No fewer than 49 runners – our biggest ever team - represented the Foundation and our great friends at the Russ Devereux Headlight Project in the Great North Run. Leading the Headlight team was Russ’s wife Catherine, while seven of our Patrons were represented in the big event. Elliott Butterworth, Jay Holmes and Rich Bowden took part in the New York Marathon in memory of Russ. And completing the Berlin Marathon were Lisa Preston, Jordan Clayton, Nick Dent and Mark Simpson. Our thanks to everyone who took part in a run for us during 2019.

£5,000 TO AUTISM PARENTS TOGETHER
£1,000 TO SUBMIT 2 SUCCESS

Visit by Michael Powell, Cleveland Cable Company
Thanks to our supporters, the £5,000 pot of money from our last Golden Giveaway has gone towards providing trips and activities for autistic children and their families.
We “submit” we’re massive fans of the amazing work being carried out by Ralph Presgrave through his community group Submit 2 Success.
Ingleby Barwick-based charity Autism Parents Together helps children with the condition - and their mums and dads.
Michael Powell, of one of our generous Patrons Cleveland Cable Company, paid a visit to see the inspiring community work Submit 2 Success is carrying out in the centre of Thornaby.
Getting out and about, they told us, can have its challenges and they want to be able to provide events and activities for youngsters in exclusive environments where they won’t be judged and where they can mix with other families who simply understand and accept. Yvonne Ferguson of our patrons Middlesbrough FC was joined by our very own Jenny Williams for a visit to hear an update on how Autism Parents Together is thriving since our big donation.

£1,000 TO PARKINSON’S SUPPORT GROUP Visit by Mel Devine, Hunters Estate Agents
Visit by Terry and Heather Forman
Teessiders suffering from the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s Disease can stay in touch thanks to a £1,000 donation from our Foundation.
A Middlesbrough community café can now support families facing hardship to find work - and a hot meal - thanks to support from the Philanthropic Foundation.
Those who attend the Middlesbrough area’s Parkinson’s Support Group enjoy weekly meet-ups to hear speakers, keep in touch and provide support over a friendly cuppa.
Unity Café, based at Trinity Family Friendly Centre at the Methodist Church in Middlesbrough’s Whinney Banks area, received £5,000 from our charity to continue its work providing a hot meal for families and lonely widows.
Thanks to our donation, the group was able to enjoy days out, a visit to the theatre and a Christmas meal.
And Patrons Heather and Terry Forman paid a visit to the café to enjoy a cuppa and hear about the impact our donation has made.
Christine Routledge, the group’s treasurer, told us: “Our group helps people with Parkinson’s to remain within the community, as the nature of the condition often leads people to withdraw into isolation. Our group encourages social interactions to be maintained.”
The donation has also been invested in laptops and internet access to help people on Universal Credit find suitable employment through access to adult learning courses.

Background: Musical duo who give up their own time and energy to run the Middlesbrough-based Starmakerz, providing free music tuition, singing and dancing to four to 18-year-olds. Their mission is to give disadvantaged youngsters the chance to develop their musical skills. They put our £1,000 donation into Starmakerz to continue helping Teesside’s kids shine bright.
Background: Nicknamed “Mister Maker”, volunteer Andrew Elmy is named after the popular CBeebies entertainer because of the art and craft projects he does with young people and adults at charity Families First North East in Hartlepool, despite living with a brain tumour since the age of nine that can cause seizures at any moment and has left him blind in one eye. He asked the Foundation to donate the cash to Families First North-East, the charity he loves working with.
Background: A third generation member of the Salvation Army, Kath Callan has coordinated the charity’s annual Christmas Toy Appeal to help the poorest Middlesbrough families for 20 years, while she also founded and organised Teesside Netball League and has organised fundraising for many local charities.

Now this amazing local charity has signed off in some style by donating more than £50,000 to enable us to purchase a third caravan specially adapted with ramps, hoist, wider doorways and lower units to make it suitable for disabled bodied people. The Philanthropic Foundation will provide all of the support for the short breaks but the purchase of a third caravan was only made possible through the legacy fund offered to us by the Finlay Cooper Fund.
Donation - Foundation Patron Ken Devereux (left) with Finlay Cooper Fund’s Colin Cooper and Graham Fordy.
The fund was set up by former Middlesbrough footballer Colin Cooper and his wife Julie in memory of their son, Finlay, who died in a tragic choking accident days before his second birthday. Along with trustees Nick Waites, Graham Fordy and our own chair of trustees Lee Bramley, they have done Finlay proud by raising £600,000 for local children’s causes. Now Finlay’s Holiday Home will ensure his name lives on, associated for many years to come with a project we’re incredibly proud of. The holiday home will be available on the same Filey site as our existing caravans from Easter 2020.
Location - the caravan is on a site next to the beach.

WHY WE BACK THIS CHARITY Three of our Patrons explain why they support Teesside Philanthropic Foundation.
Lee Bramley Chair of Trustees, Philanthropic Foundation
“Nearly every member of our team has raised money for the Foundation in one way or another, whether that’s been taking part in our coast-to-coast bike ride, running a 10k, tackling the Three Peaks or taking part in a sleepout.
“We were one of the first businesses to become Patrons back in 2011 – and the Foundation is now part and parcel of what Endeavour Partnership stands for.
“What’s regularly said by our staff is that they love that they get to see first hand where the money is going. We see the money in action, which is emotive and inspiring.”
Managing Director, Endeavour Partnership
“Founder Andy Preston came to see the partners, told us about the philanthropic opportunity and within 20 minutes we were sold. There was a bit of a recession and times were hard but we absolutely got Andy’s vision. “Having grown up in central Middlesbrough, I was acutely aware of the challenges people faced and I’m a firm believer in trying to help others less fortunate and am now in the privileged position to be able to do that.
LADIES WHO LOVE FUNDRAISING!
“That was the starting point for us - but now look at the impressive list of Patrons on the back page of this magazine and it’s clear there’s also an opportunity to mix, make friends and do business with other prominent Teesside businesses.”
Inspiring - Karl Pemberton.
Zoe Lewis Chief Executive, Middlesbrough College
Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies was a huge hit as guest speaker at our Ladies’ Lunch at Whinstone View - with £5,000 raised
“The college has always actively supported local charities because we believe supporting the community is part of our wider role in terms of involving the staff, students and parents.
for Teesside’s most disadvantaged families and other worthy causes. The event – kindly sponsored by our Patrons Vitality Face - was attended by 160 of our female supporters including representatives of our patrons Barclays UK (Middlesbrough), The Endeavour Partnership LLP, Hambleton Group, Archers Law, Active Chartered Financial Planners, Erimus Insurance Brokers, Crystal Galleries, Castlegate Shopping Centre, The Build Directory, Baldwins Group and Mandale Group. Other local organisations represented included Cornerstone Business Solutions Ltd, Chipchase Manners, We Can Dance, Truck tech - NE limited, HR2day, Wolviston Group Limited, Core Legal Limited, Jacksons Law Firm, Taylor Wimpey, Rockliffe Hall and Punch Robson Solicitors. Note for diaries: the next Ladies’ Lunch is due to be held on April 2nd at Wynyard Hall.

Impressive - Lee Bramley.
Karl Pemberton Managing Director, Active Chartered Financial Planners Trustee, Philanthropic Foundation “Active has always been a charitable business and we used to choose a charity to support each year. But then the charities we had struck a relationship with would continue to ask us for our support. It was a moral dilemma because it’s great to support worthy causes but helping them all is unsustainable. “The Philanthropic Foundation ticks a massive box for us, as it allows us to donate anonymously and give money to one central resource that takes the administrative burden away from us and shares the funds among many great local charities and causes. We now support many more local causes by handing a cheque over to one organisation. “Being Patrons has allowed us to meet like-minded individuals who we wouldn’t have otherwise met who are also generous and passionate about Teesside.
“What inspired us to recently become part of the Foundation was hearing how the charity had gathered momentum across the business community, making local businesses aware of their wider role in society. We wanted to be part of a movement that encourages that sort of responsible action. “We’re keen to scale up and make a difference for our community in partnership with business – and I really hope we can inspire others to follow suit. “We’ve hosted the Foundation’s Big Tees Sleepout for several years now Partnership - Zoe Lewis. but this is really stepping it up. We have 1,000 staff and 13,000 students and we’re keen to find ways to become increasingly part of this great charity.”

WE ARE TEESSIDE! Every penny we donate stays right here on Teesside – and representatives of our generous Patrons regularly pay visits to the charities and community groups we support to see first-hand the impact our donations have.
ENRICHING FAMILY LIFE
THIS SOUND INVESTMENT IS ACE A Teesside sports group that gives tennis opportunities for the blind and visually impaired celebrated its fifth birthday with a £500 donation from our Foundation. Our generous Patron Barney Ord paid a visit to Tees Valley Sound Tennis, a group of blind and visually impaired tennis enthusiasts who in 2018 were named North East Disability Sports Club of the Year. The £500 Golden Giveaway donation enabled TVST to pay for the costs of coaching and court hire. We’ve also helped them with the cost of the special sound tennis balls that are imported and need regularly replacing.
A golden glow to the tune of £1,500 is settling over a Hartlepool group which supports children and young people with complex needs.
Club chairman Dave Donnelly said: “The money is massive for us because we are a relatively small club.”
Middlesbrough - Barney Ord (second left) with Tees Valley Sound Tennis members.
And our donation to Hartlepool Special Needs Support Group is helping to deliver a programme of activities that will enrich, enliven and enlighten the lives of 100 Teesside families. Larah Hunt from our patrons Charles Clinkard paid a visit to the group to hear more about their work supporting families and children by encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Hartlepool - Larah Hunt had fun with the Special Needs Support Group.
Activities include fun clubs, trips, live show visits, lunches, themed parties and soft play adventures as well as vital support services for parents and carers who cope with the reality of life-limiting conditions on a daily basis.
BOOSTING GIRL POWER Young Teesside girls can enjoy day trips and activities following the Philanthropic Foundation’s £500 boost to the coffers of the 2nd Thornaby Rainbows. Situated in the disadvantaged Mandale and Victoria ward of Thornaby, volunteer leaders at the Rainbow unit are dedicated to giving the girls, aged five-seven, a range of life experiences within a safe, encouraging environment.
Thornaby - Rainbows display their badges with visitor Jayne Stephenson.
After they received £500 through our Golden Giveaway, one of our loyal Patrons, Jayne Stephenson, paid a visit to meet the girls and their leaders, where Sarah Richardson told us our small donation had been a “massive” support to the Rainbows.
“The trips and experiences help the girls build their confidence and self-esteem,” said Sarah, who revealed the funds had also paid for achievement badges for the Rainbows. “But we are in an area where money is hard to come by, so this will ease the pressure of parents having to pay.”
