Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland

Applications closed

Funding: Up to £1,000
Deadline: 26 October 2026
Location: Northumberland
Applications: Applications closed

Overview

This award is for organisations in Northumberland that support young people aged 10 to 25. It comes from the Northumberland High Sheriff Awards Fund, run by Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland.

You can ask for up to £1,000. The fund is for organisations, not individuals. The funder lists the closing date as 26 October 2026.

Before you apply for the first time, you will need an account on the funder's grantee portal. New applicants can also read the funder's eligibility information to check that your organisation and your activity are a good fit. If you need support with your application, the funder has a Help and Support page, and a set of FAQs that answers common questions.

The funder lists a separate fund with the same purpose for Tyne and Wear. That one covers Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland, so it is not for Northumberland groups.

One practical point. This fund has a fixed closing date, so it is not open all year. If you miss it, the funder says organisations in Tyne and Wear or Northumberland can make a general application at any time of year when no current call matches their needs.
