Did you know we're now on Instagram? 📸 Go check it out and give us a follow 👇 We want to be at the heart of our community, following those who want to see REAL change across our region - does that sound like something you want to be a part of too? instagram.com/teesconnectors…
Change is part of life. Maybe even the driver for it. Community Connectors Teesside is picking up from where Hope4Boro left off ✊ Same community connection but finally catching up with ourselves 😅
Get yourself involved! Watch, donate, eat soup, help make Boro better x

Community Connectors Zoom meetings have been a highlight of lockdown so far. Get in touch if you'd like to join our Huddle on Monday mornings. For activists and community workers to simply check-in together at the start of a new week. Great stuff

Excited to be curating a couple of weeks of grassroots actions and wisdom sharing. This is a fantastic selection of some of the great eco projects working hard to realise a better world - both here in Teesside and with a global view.
#Greenprint is here! A fantastic selection of events taking place over the next week and a half, showcasing some beautiful responses and dialogue about ecological breakdown and the world to come. Check it out: hope4boro.org.uk/greenprint

The awesome Boro @BoroSOUP started as an idea, 4 yrs ago, while we were planning an event to better highlight & connect the grassroots. Emulating Detroit SOUP we formed a team & got on with it. Now at event 29, we're so proud of how our SOUP has flourished #community #grassroots

@BoroSOUP is this week! Come along on Thurs, 6:30pm at @offthegrounduk Grassroots focus where you can make a difference! Always a great night
The real difference btwn abundance & scarcity is so counter-cultural that we often fail 2 see it. It’s best revealed by comparing a bike & a car. Bikes run on fat & save us money (abundance). Cars run on money & make us fat (scarcity). Hence abundance is found thru sufficiency.

Great words as we approach New Year. @BoroSOUP @BlueprintBoro
‘Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.’ Howard Thurman
Christmas meditation, for all those human experiences of joy and stress and sadness. Observe those feelings, ask if they have a special message for you this Christmas time. Love to you and your messengers x

After a brief lull following Blueprint, we're back at it with @borosoup tonight! All sorts of brilliant things to share in the coming weeks. Perhaps with new ways for us to connect and share.

@Hope4Boro Boro Soup returns for its 3rd anniversary. 2019 sees some big changes so this really does mark the end of a mint season for our little networking/fundraising event. £15k raised, 70 groups supported, loads of connections made. Join us at @TP_Coffee on Thurs at 6:30pm
