How we're funded

In 2021 we offered 20,941 hours of support to 2,126 active participants across our broad range of services, this was an increase of 23% since 2020.

Our 46 volunteers contributed 2,837 hours of their time to support our work, we are really grateful to those who volunteered which represents a financial value to our organisation of over £25,000. This does not include the many one-off groups of volunteers who supported us during the year, including volunteers from Northumberland Estates, Capita and PwC.

How we did what we did - 2020-21

Our total income for the year was £635,520.

This was made up of income earned from room hire, events and training; income from delivering contracts for adult day care services and alternative education provision across the centre; grant funding from a number of funders, most notably:

  • The National Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities for our Supported Volunteer programme.
  • North Tyneside NHS Clinical Commissioning Group - for our Health & Wellbeing programme.
  • National Lottery and European Social Fund to deliver our Wise Steps programme which supports those with multiple barriers to work.
  • European Social Fund - as part of a consortium led by North Tyneside Council to support people become work ready.
  • The Henry Smith Charity
  • Bernicia Foundation
  • Virgin Money Foundation
  • The Ballinger Trust
  • The Department of Education Holiday Activities Fund

plus many other supporters to whom we are extremely grateful.

How you helped

We received a great deal of support from a wide section of the local community through our events and activities along with sponsorship from Capita, The Sage Foundation and TLW Solicitors to make these events possible.

Funding from The National Lottery Community Fund (formerly The Big Lottery) helped us support many local people to volunteer with additional support to increase their skills and confidence.

Bernicia Foundation provided a large part of the funding for our Connected Kids Club, which provides affordable after-school and holiday activities. 

The Department of Education Holiday Activities Fund enabled us to pilot a Mini Kids Club during the summer holidays and provide a residential trip to High Borrens for older children.
