TEDxTeesside 2025 Partners
Gold Partner
Tees Valley Combined Authority is driving transformational change across the five boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees.
Backed by an investment pot of £1.7billion, the organisation is tasked with creating jobs, growing the economy and changing lives through its responsibility and funding over areas such as business support; inward investment; transport; education, employment and skills; culture and tourism; and research and innovation.
We are a partnership of five authorities working closely with the business community and other partners to make local decisions to support the growth of our economy.
Silver Partner
Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through specialist drug and alcohol, mental health, housing, employment and related support. Waythrough brings specialist multidisciplinary expertise, drawing upon over 100 years’ shared experience delivering drug and alcohol, mental health, housing and related services across the country. Our unique experience and resources enable us to take a genuinely holistic approach.
We know that people and their problems don’t fit into neatly labelled boxes. And that finding help can be hard when life gets messy. Too many people hit dead ends when they need open doors and answers. That’s where Waythrough comes in.
Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. It’s a big ask, but one we aren’t shy of.
