During 2020 and parts of 2021 Boro SOUP had to adjust to Covid-19 protocols by meeting online via zoom.

We are thankful to report that as of May 2021 SOUP meetings are now back in-person.

The pandemic has had such a devastating impact on community networking and we are eager to support grassroots causes now more than ever.

If you need cash to support your project please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Boro SOUP is now back in person following the pandemic and we’re keen to support grassroots organisations now more than ever!

Our 2022 dates are listed to your left and all events are held on the last Thursday of the month at Gutsy Girl.

SOUP is 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.

Connect in 2022 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 £28,000 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.
