 Ayresome Primary School

Hillstreet were proud to host parents, teachers and pupils from Ayresome Primary School who entertained shoppers with a mix of song, dance and African drums!!!

75 pupils aged between 7 and 11 were involved in the event as Hillstreet stretched out it's arms to further embrace the community.

The event was organised by Emma Cooper, the school Creative Development Leader who said: "The pupils were really excited at the opportunity to perform in a public space. We believe that everybody has a creative side and events like today allow the children to not only entertain the shoppers, but more importantly, express their own creativity and talent"

Barry Parnell, Hillstreet's Operations Manager was delighted to welcome the youngsters. "The children were perfect ambassadors for their school and it was really nice to see local kids perform in a busy shopping centre.Hillstreet is a centre for the community and we hope that the children and our shoppers enjoyed the entertainment"

Teesside Golf Club

Hillstreet continues its support of Teesside Golf Club by providing the first of two buggies for the club. These will enable the golf club to comply with The Disability Discrimination Act.

The buggy will receive Hillstreet and Teesside Golf Club branding in the very near future. Jon Walton, Head of Commercialisation at DTZ, Hillstreets' management company said 'This is an integral part of Hillstreet's community relations policy. The provision of the buggy will enable more people to take advantage of the fantastic facilities at Teesside Golf Club'.
