Northern Rock Foundation – Funding Events 2010

The Trustees of the Foundation recently agreed to a changed focus in their grant giving in response to changing regional circumstances, including the impact of the recession. In 2010, in addition to our current programmes, there will be increased investment in homelessness projects and a new focus on developing initiatives specifically for those who are financially excluded to address growing need.

We will be holding two events in the North East in January to launch these programmes and provide an update on our current programmes.

10.30 am, 27 January Trinity Centre, Middlesbrough

10.30 am, 29 January, Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne

At these events you will hear more about the work of the Foundation in 2010 and have an opportunity to meet staff and discuss potential applications.

If you would like to attend one of these events please contact Gemma Appleby: generaloffice@nr-foundation.org.uk or call on 0191 284 8412 by Friday 22 January 2010. Limited spaces are available so please book early to avoid disappointment.
