Northern Rock Foundation is an independent charity, which aims to tackle disadvantage and improve quality of life in the North East and Cumbria.
The Foundation gives grants to organisations which help people who are vulnerable, disadvantaged, homeless, living in poverty or are victims of crime or discrimination. We also support training, research and demonstration work and gather and share learning from the activities we fund. Where appropriate we seek to inform and influence wider regional and national policies and practice.
VONNE has produced a special edition of their magazine ‘The VINE’ which includes a six page article on the findings from the Foundation’s Third Sector Trends Study. To download a copy of the VINE, please follow this link to VONNE’s website. A poster, giving facts and figures on the sector in the North East (pictured) is available to download here.
Northern Rock Foundation’s Resource Centre is your source of information on monitoring and evaluation, training opportunities and the Foundation’s library of research.
