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!

Previously, when Donna thought of the word hospice, she thought of dying – but that association changed after she became a patient. Donna shares how a stay on our In-Patient Unit has given her confidence and changed her misconceptions around hospice care.
Whether you’re looking to gain new skills or build on those you already have, volunteering can be a great way to broaden your knowledge. For Charlotte, who volunteers in our People Team, it was about building on the knowledge she’d gained on a recent course.
