Support for vulnerable people in Tyne & Wear and Northumberland - The Ringtons Fund

The Ringtons Fund supports charitable organisations working with people experiencing hardship and/or disadvantage in Tyne & Wear and Northumberland. The fund is keen to see applications supporting one or more of the following: children, disability, family, older people, poverty, and women. Organisations with an average annual turnover of between £250k and £1m, based and operating within Tyne & Wear and Northumberland can be supported with grants of up to £5,000, mainly for activities, materials and equipment required to deliver projects. There is a preference for the Ringtons Fund to support the entire request rather than contributing to a larger amount. The fund supports direct activity costs including staffing costs, volunteer expenses and a contribution to overheads, as well as project resources and equipment. Projects must be able to start within 3 months of receipt of the grant.
