What a fantastic action shot! 🤸

Funding from Tees Million helped Stainsby Gymnastics purchase new safety mats, giving gymnasts added protection as they practise and develop their skills.

It’s great to see the mats being put to good use and helping gymnasts take on new challenges.

It’s great to see the Linking Routes Silver Link Social Group enjoying their weekly sessions at The Palace Hub in Redcar.

The group meets weekly to catch up, enjoy a chat, play bingo and have a go on the raffle. They also enjoy trips out together, from afternoon teas and boat trips to evening shows.

Thanks to funding from Tees Foundation, the group has been able to provide healthy snacks and refreshments during their sessions, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A big well done to everyone involved for making such a positive impact in the local area!

🚣 Impact That Matters!

A great opportunity for the next generation of rowing coaches at Infinity Boat Club

Isaac, 15, Hector, 16 and Demi, 17, were able to take their RYA Level 2 powerboat qualification thanks to Tees Million funding.

They’re now taking their first steps towards becoming rowing coaches, learning how to safely and confidently control a coaching launch.

It’s fantastic to see funding helping young people on Teesside develop new skills. 👏

Thanks to Infinity Boat Club for sharing this photo and giving us an insight into their progress!

What a challenge! 🥾

The coaching staff at Cleveland Basketball Club took on a gruelling hike up Helvellyn this summer to raise funds for the Tees Foundation Sports Kit Challenge.

The funding helped the club provide new team playing kits for seven teams.

A fantastic example of people going the extra mile to create opportunities and make a difference.
