Supporting people with practical cost-of-living interventions in North East England

Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland

The Mayor's Opportunity Fund supports people with practical cost-of-living interventions across North East England. It is run by Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland, and it is listed on the funder's page as a grant for organisations. You can ask for up to £7,500. The page does not give a minimum award. The fund is a rolling grant. That means the funder lists it as open without a closing date, so you do not need to work to a fixed deadline. It covers County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland. Tees Valley is not on the list of areas for this fund, so check that your work takes place in one of the seven named areas before you go any further. The funder asks first-time applicants to read its eligibility information and to register for an account on its grantee portal before applying. Plan time for this, because you cannot apply without an account. The funder also offers a Help and Support page and a set of FAQs if you need a hand with your application. One practical point to keep in mind: the listing on the funder's page is brief. It names the fund and the maximum grant, but the detail of what counts as a practical cost-of-living intervention sits behind the Read more link. Look at that fund page and the new applicant guidance so you can be sure your project fits before you spend time on an application. Official source: https://www.communityfoundation.org.uk/apply/.

Awards to organisations in Northumberland supporting young people aged 10 to 25 years

Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland

Up to £1,000North East England

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.
