Where we fund

Rooted in the North East

From the West End of Newcastle to Cramlington, Walker, Gateshead and South Shields. Here is the area our money goes to, and every project we support is listed underneath.

Northern Northumberland, from Alnwick upwards, is outside it. Sunderland and County Durham are shown in a third shade, as places we rarely fund. Teesside and everywhere further south sits outside the area we fund.
