Our mission img

Our mission

We are at the heart of local giving in the Tees Valley and we’re passionate about empowering local communities to address disadvantage and exclusion.
We help local charities and community groups by distributing grants and investing in their long-term sustainability, and we help local people achieve their potential in their chosen field.

We invest in our community img

We invest in our community

As well as providing project grants to groups and charities, we also provide funding to long-term partners who share our aims and objectives, and deliver benefits to the local community. These include organisations we feel are better placed to distribute special grants in areas of dedicated support.
We invest in the growth, development and financial sustainability of local community groups and enterprises.
