Boro Cereal, run by BiG KIDS, empowers children in Middlesbrough schools to make a difference in their community – inspired by the global Boro Soup movement.
This was an idea which came directly from the children who were worried that patients and their families at Teesside Hospice might be feeling lonely; the children wanted to do something to let them know that others were thinking of them. The children will design mugs which will then be filled with treats and gifts then delivered to patients at the hospice making them feel loved and supported.
A huge thank you to Whinney Banks Primary School for choosing to support our hospice for their project. We can’t wait to receive them, what a thoughtful gesture from such inspiring young minds!

When 15-year-old Rafael was looking to do more with his weekends and gain new skills, he turned to volunteering. Now, after a year of volunteering in our charity shop, he’s built his confidence and met some great friends.
Craig has been a long-standing patient of our Lymphoedema Clinic and comes to us for intensive treatment. Despite the toll this can take, it’s something he always looks forward to thanks to the kindness, compassion and humour of our team.
Hospice care is more than you think – it’s love, kindness and friendship. Ahead of this year’s Hospice Care Week, we spoke to Margaret and Wayne, who formed a bond while both staying on our In-Patient Unit.
