We did It

Giving over £1.4 million in grants by 2026 smashes our commitment to donate £1m to hundreds of charities and voluntary groups, giving our local community a helping hand.
A big thank you to all those groups who delivered our grant funded projects. Together we've helped thousands of people across the North East.
As our grant programme comes to a close, we're still finding new ways to invest in our communities and support local people. We'll announce more details at a later date.

The Bernicia Foundation donation has been a huge blessing and has enabled us to open our doors over longer hours, especially on evenings and weekends when a lot of young people are vulnerable”
