    Brief

    Middlesbrough Council is seeking partners to expand its Christmas Parade offer for 2026, creating an inclusive community celebration. This opportunity involves delivering neighbourhood workshops starting in late summer to engage schools, community groups, and residents in parade planning and creative activities. Partners will facilitate hands-on workshops where participants can design and create parade elements, with opportunities for community involvement in the parade itself. The project aims to build excitement during the summer holidays and establish sustainable engagement pathways with local schools and neighbourhoods. Suppliers should have experience in community engagement, creative workshop delivery, and event coordination. Activities will be neighbourhood-based and designed to be accessible to diverse audiences including families, young people, and school groups.
