Helping organisations in Tyne & Wear support young people aged 10 to 25

Overview

The Tyne & Wear High Sheriff's Awards help organisations in Tyne & Wear support young people aged 10 to 25. The fund is run by Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland. Awards are for organisations, not individuals. The fund covers Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland. The maximum grant is £1,000, so it suits small projects and community activity for young people. The fund is open for applications now and closes on 19 October 2026. That is only a few days away, so you will need to move quickly. If you have not applied to the Community Foundation before, you will first need an account on its grantee portal. The funder also asks new applicants to read its eligibility information to check that you and your activity qualify. You can find answers to common questions in its FAQs. If you need support with your application, there is a Help and Support page. If this fund is not the right match, the Community Foundation says you can make a general application at any time of year, as long as your organisation is in Tyne and Wear or Northumberland. The practical point to remember is the timing. Register for the portal early, check your eligibility, and have your application ready before the closing date.
