No Two Days the Same: Connecting South Tees for Positive Change
23 September 2025 - 4:12pm
One of the things I love most about my role is the variety – no two days are ever the same. At the heart of my work is making sure we truly understand what local communities need, and then supporting the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to provide safe, relevant, and effective services.

Bini Araia makes the case for facemasks
28 May 2020 - 11:57am
Bini Araia from local charity IPC is encouraging us all to wear facemasks and is inviting people to a conversation about facemasks on Zoom.
Please support and collaborate with others to bring about a life-saving effort to encourage everyone to make home-made cloth masks to wear in places where social distancing is difficult. This needs to become our social norm for a little while to help us all to keep Covid-19 at bay.
Join me on Zoom at 11am on Thursday 4 June for a conversation about facemasks, details at the end of this blog.
