Inside UMi

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.

Are you a business in the North of Tyne area, Gateshead, or Sunderland with ambitions to grow? A brand-new funding scheme, the Business Growth Fund, is here to support you on your journey to success.

Derwentside Detached Youth Project, a charitable organisation based in Consett and Derwentside, has received a grant of over £4,600 from UMi to empower the LGBTQ+ community. 

UMi honors Alfie Owen as the Young Achiever of the Year at the 2023 Awards for his outstanding commitment to supply chain education.

November 24th was NEN’s Annual Conference and Awards, celebrating excellence in enterprise support. UMi was in attendance to share our insights and experience with participating companies.
