a charity success

Teesside and we’re
all proud Teessiders,
so we were keen
to support the
brilliant work of
the Philanthropic
Foundation.
“I love the fact
that the Foundation
and its many
supporters are, like us, committed to
redistributing the wealth to those who most
need our help right here on Teesside.
“Everyone enjoys a good quiz so what
better way to raise some funds while
helping local businesses do some great
team-building and helping the charity to gain
further exposure?
“It was a great night, well supported by so
many local businesses, and most importantly
we exceeded last year’s fundraising total by
some margin.”
Paul and the charity thanked Prime UK
Solutions, Middlesbrough FC, Anderson
Barrowcliff, Flowerhouse, Hooker & Young,
Antonio Edward Hair Salon, the Racz Group
and Atom Health and Fitness for their
fundraising donations, together with Stephen
