Who we are

TEES CIO are a local charity based in Redcar & Cleveland, registered in September 2019, with the sole purpose of helping alleviate some of the issues associated with the ever-increasing poverty and deprivation in the Tees Valley region.


We support anyone referred to us with financial, emotional, crisis, isolation and vulnerability problems. TEES stands for Together. Engage. Encourage. Support. This is our way of bringing together all local agencies, charities, groups, clubs, local government, businesses, individuals, services and anyone in the community wanting to help.

Passionate & dedicated

We engage with all the above by networking and attending events. TEES then encourage sharing information, giving and sharing data on projects, partnerships and signposting. The support we then provide is then passed down to the individuals or families in need.


All the trustees of TEES are unpaid and work within the charity with passion and a dedication to help others.

Our founder & CEO


Tonia has devoted much of her life to helping people. She has provided support and volunteered at many local charities including; The Cheshire Homes, Redcar Lifeboat, Citizens Advice Bureau, and most recently Teeside Socialist Clothing Bank.


Tonia’s passion for helping people lead her to become the founding member of TEES CIO. Her dedication for supporting people has guided her to help the homeless, the less fortunate and people with mental health and addiction problems. She has had personal experience of the latter and knows all to well the lack of support for those suffering with these issues.
