SEND Family Voice, Redcar and Cleveland

One of our amazing young people spoke to us a couple of weeks ago about how we can promote youth groups on a Tuesday and Friday evening.

Always up for a challenge they have now designed a poster for us to share with everyone!

Please, show your appreciation for Alfie's poster he has created for us to use

How lovely is this? ☺️

🚗 SAFE, SECURE & SMILING – SOPHIE’S NEW CAR SEAT CHANGES EVERYTHING 🚗

💙 TTFF Specialist Equipment Fund 💙
We were proud to fund a specialist car seat for Sophie, giving her the comfort and safety she deserves every single day.

Mum shared this lovely message with us:
"Thank you very much for Sophie’s car seat. She is very comfortable. It’s a massive help and she’s safe."

Seeing Sophie smiling alongside her siblings says everything ❤️

At The Teesside Family Foundation, we’re here to make a real difference — supporting families, improving lives, and bringing peace of mind when it’s needed most.

👉 If you or someone you support could benefit from specialist equipment, apply here:
