Giving the North East community a helping hand

We try to achieve a balance between our presence in an area and the amount of funding awarded there.
Currently, projects delivering in North and South East Northumberland as well as County Durham are higher priority funding areas.
North Tyneside and Hartlepool are medium priority funding areas.
Projects primarily active in West Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, Sunderland, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton & Redcar will be considered lower priority for funding.
