Our funding
We are a small not for profit social enterprise and seek to deliver services and opportunities through a partnership approach, brokerage and facilitation. We are grateful for the support and core funding contributions from three key stakeholders: Newcastle City Council, Newcastle University and Northumbria University.
In 2024-2025 and 2025-26, we also benefitted from grant funding to support the Express Yourself: North East Festival of Languages from the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority.
