Inside UMi

Move the Masses, a charitable organisation based in Leeds, has received a £2,000 grant from UMi Community Foundation to go towards their transformative Move Mates project.

The inaugural ‘Meet the Buyers’ event hosted by East Midlands Airport (EMA) saw more than 100 firms networking and having initial meetings which are set to generate millions of pounds worth of business.

UMi was the Delivery Partner for the North of Tyne Growth Fund (NTGF) that provided grant support to SMEs across the North of Tyne region in the North East of England.

CAFE Together Project, a charitable organisation based in Easington Colliery, has received a grant of £5,500 from UMi. This grant has been crucial in supporting the project to adjust to the evolving needs following the pandemic, creating positive changes for the beneficiaries and the wider community.

As we look back on 2023, celebrating our achievements, we've taken a moment to pause and express gratitude for the past year, reminiscing about the extraordinary rollercoaster of emotions and activities that defined the last 12 months.

Millions of pounds worth of new business is set to be secured by small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) following a local event, organised by UMi.
