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.

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. 

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.
