Our plan for 2020 was disrupted by Covid. But we’ve hosted several online SOUP and Mixing Pot events. We’re looking forward to a new pattern in 2021 that allows us to keep connected whatever the path of the pandemic.
Come and join us! Have a say in making Boro even better!

SOUP is normally a bi-monthly live crowdfunding supper, connecting people who care about Boro, supporting 3 great causes each event,
putting the power for change in our hands.

Alternating with SOUP is Mixing Pot. A night of conversation around the radical ideas already emerging in Teesside. As soon as we can meet in person again we will.

Connect in 2020/21 to meet with a vibrant movement of people who want to see Boro transformed

Raise money for local charities! Please donate what you can. Every penny is match funded to help us make an even bigger difference! Together we’ve raised over £26,000 so far!

Great food is typically included in your entry for live events. Until we can meet in person again, why not get creative and try out a new recipe for when you join us online.
