Inside UMi

Melanoma-Me, a leading Gateshead-based organisation dedicated to supporting individuals affected by malignant melanoma, has used a grant of £1,000 from UMi to continue its vital virtual support services. The funding has enabled Melanoma-Me to combat loneliness, enhance mental health, and foster a sense of community among cancer patients and their caregivers. 

Following significant investment to bring our new 10,000 sq. ft. premises up to the highest environmental and sustainability standards, UMi have now moved into our new office space at Navigators Point.
