The Teesside Charity was established in March 2011 to provide social and economic opportunities that would not otherwise have existed in the area. Formerly the Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation, the charity's key function is to financially support community groups and charities based within Teesside, which promote social wellbeing and provide support to those who find themselves at a disadvantage in the society they live in. These include but are not exclusively the homeless, those recovering from an addiction, the long-term unemployed, those living in poverty or living with a disability and employment schemes. The Teesside Charity helps those on the margins of society be involved in society and not excluded from opportunities. Teesside is a deprived area of the UK. It has higher crime rates, more pupils eligible for free school meals and higher unemployment than the national average. However, it also has great resilience and motivation to excel in areas.

The objects of the Charity are for the public benefit: (1) to advance the education of the public in the subject of Libyan culture and heritage; (2) to develop the capacity and skills of the socially disadvantaged members of the diaspora Libyan community within the United Kingdom in such a way that they are better able to: (i) identify, and help meet, their needs; and (ii) more fully participate in, and contribute positively to, British society; and (3) to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time. Libya in the UK (LYUK) is an independent non-governmental organisation led by Libyan youth living in the diaspora. We seek to be a hub for Libyans in the UK to foster a shared sense of community. We provide a platform for networking and knowledge sharing for all Libyans and implement initiatives to advance Libyan art, culture, young talent and entrepreneurship. Ultimately, LYUK aims to build a vibrant and diverse Libyan community in the UK. Our core values are independence and integrity and we strive for excellence in all areas of our work.

Believe & Achieve is our school motto. We aim to offer our children engaging and enriching opportunities to allow them to develop the knowledge, skills and resilience they need to achieve in our ever changing and culturally diverse world. We are a growing school family with a shared drive and determination to ensure all of our children reach their full potential across all aspects of our broad, balanced and bespoke Coxhoe curriculum. Staff and governors believe that it is a privilege to guide your children through their Primary School journey and are passionate about their important role. Our school community is based upon positive relationships that are underpinned by mutual respect. Smiles and laughter are a key part of each and every day: happy children make fantastic learners. We have high expectations in all aspects of school life; visitors often comment on the high standards of behaviour, the warm welcome they receive and the enjoyment in school life. The community supporting Coxhoe Primary School is one of its many strengths and we value it hugely. The support we have from parents is second to none and we encourage honest and open dialogue; if you have queries or concerns about any aspects of school life, please make sure that you come and talk to us. Likewise - when you are particularly happy with something at school - it's also lovely to hear about that too! Our children are at the heart of everything we do and every decision made. As a parent of two teenage daughters, I am well aware of the challenges that today's society places on our children. In this climate, it is even more important to help our children become resilient and prepared for those challenges - through their experiences here in our school family. We will therefore endeavour to ensure that your children leave Coxhoe Primary School having had fun, done their best and feeling proud of their achievements; this will allow them to be ready to face the next challenges, not only in their education, but also in their life.

After covid and major spends on the old church building we operate from our finances were stretched to the limit and we considered closure. Due to the demand for activities and services we decided to continue as best we could. We are in the process of redecorating rooms to provide therapies, a sensory room, a dementia group and occupational therapy to address requests from numerous community residents and health groups. As our website is about the history of the charity we need an urgent update, a volunteer from John Moores University has offered to do this for us. We do not have a current newsletter but we do have an infographic about our achievement over a five year period as example of the good work carried out and the impact. We have won numerous prestigious awards to include "The Points of Light" awards from the then Prime Minister Theresa May. The ITV Good Morning Britain Team awarded the manager/founder a 'Special Recognition Award' which appeared on screen Christmas 2020. Our charity has worked with the Princes Trust and the Groundwork Trust, both excellent for the progress of young people. There is a video on YOU TUBE of our past projects, we will be continuing a lot of similar projects in the future; I am hoping to attach some files later if possible, files such as the Annual Report and the Infographic. Since deciding to remain open we have been fortunate to work in partnership with a number of groups such as MerseyCare NHS, Merseyside Youth Association, Knowsley Disability Concern, Social Prescribing via GP's, Police, Veterans, Schools and more. The charity is volunteer led. Our request is for funding to gain a project manager who will over-see all projects and will supervise a number of project facilitators.

Make CIC's vision is to see people turn their passion into prosperity. The mission is to provide services; support people; facilitate resources and networks in order that people can live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. This will be done by providing affordable, community-focused creative work environments; nurture people's curiosity to learn skills; facilitate access to opportunities and resources; bring people together by building networks and hosting events; as well as transform the environments around us and ultimately people's lives. To stay true to this mission we will act with a set of values in mind; to be curious, constructive and transformative. Curious We will be endlessly curious, always thinking, 'How could we do this differently?' Encouraging and inspiring independent thinking and challenges to the norms of 'This is how it's always been done.' Removing barriers by cherishing and treasuring difference. And making our creations in the new thinking spaces we then find. This helps us to break down barriers and disrupt the norm. Constructive We are ambitious about making things memorable. In what we make, repurpose, put on and deliver we are conscious of developing the effectiveness and well-being of our community. By teaching and sharing skills, building things and ensuring the opportunities for the greater good of generations to come. We will be around the table, constructively engaging in the conversations of our time. Transformative We work consistently to be part of positively transforming the places where we are and the lives of people within that place. Through the tangible impact of being embedded, we see Make as a responsible and long-term encourager of positive changes, with self-sufficiency.

SpecialEffect's mission is to enable people of all ages with even the most severe physical challenges to enjoy gaming and other creative, communication and leisure activities through access to innovative assistive technology. Our strategy is to optimise the benefits of the experience and expertise we gain from our intensive in-person assessment and support process, to make as powerful global impact as possible. We do this by operating on three levels: Tier 1 - To provide rapid-response, multi-professional assessments, and life-long specialist support to people of all ages with severe physical challenges, including young people with an immunodeficiency, completely free of charge. Each individual is provided with a customised assistive control set-up enabling them to access leisure technology such as video games, utilising whatever hardware and software best matches their needs; or a telepresence robot where that is the most appropriate solution. Tier 2 - To share what we learn through carrying out our Tier 1 work with developers, professionals and disabled people, by providing freely available video case studies and training resources online, as well as illustrating best practice by creating our own free-to-play accessible games and software. Tier 3 - To collaborate with hardware and software developers to help make video games and other digital entertainment software more accessible to people with severe physical challenges 'at source'.
