The Ageing Better Middlesbrough action group set up an age-friendly transport group to discuss improvements to transport and accessibility. The group helped to identify services to help people to travel and get around Middlesbrough safely. These are listed in the transport guide below.

Our aim this Christmas is to give out 200 luxury hampers to those who will be alone this Christmas in Teesside!!!

In order for us to do this, we have been generously sponsored by the Parkway Centre, Beaverbrook’s, Tesco and the Teesside Charity.

However, we really want to reach those who are most lonely this year:

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN…….

You will know a Redcar & Cleveland resident who faces this Christmas alone.

Kinship has been delivering our ground-breaking Sport England funded Kinship Active Programme for the past 3yrs.  This programme aims to encourage and increase intergenerational physical activity for kinship families across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.  In turn, improving mental and physical wellbeing.
 

State of Caring 2021 - key findings:

In 2021, 8,500 current and former carers shared their experiences and helped inform our State of Caring 2021 report. 

Healthwatch South Tees (HWST) worked in partnership with the Tees Valley Healthwatch Network to create a survey to ascertain local views of accessing mental health and well-being services. They received a total of 525 survey responses and spoke to 65 people during the six focus group sessions they facilitated. The team made it their priority to connect with seldom heard groups to truly reflect the diversity of South Tees communities. During the focus groups, they spoke to carers, older people, ethnic minority groups and people with a visual impairment.

Minutes from the Task Group 3 South Tees Carers Forum Meeting focussed on Young Carers which was held virtually on 21 October 2021. This task group is led by Beth Major from The Junction Foundation.
