We're so proud of the generosity of spirit of Middlesbrough companies and individuals and wanted to highlight opportunities to support their fundraising activities and good works.
Albert Park parkrun in support of Zoes Place Baby Hospice
Zoe's Place Middlesbrough has been adopted as the designated charity for our Albert Park parkrun in Middlesbrough.
All parkrun events are completely free, but many who take part have asked if there's any way they can show their appreciation for the event and the time and energy given up by volunteers - this is the way to do so.

Boro Futsal - World Record Attempt in aid of TFM Radio Cash for Kids
Middlesbrough Futsal Club will attempt to break the Guinness World Records™ record for the Longest Ever Futsal Match this summer.
The marathon futsal match, set to be played at Catterick Leisure Centre, will kick off on Friday 1st July at 10am and the Boro boys will attempt to go the distance, with the record set to be broken just after 9pm on Saturday 2nd July.
Currently, the world record stands at 32 hours and 20 minutes, set in Brazil, but a 35 hour attempt is taking place in the USA in April. This means Middlesbrough will be aiming for at least 36 hours, but will continue to play as long as possible to smash the record!
