About us

We exist to serve voluntary and community organisations in Newcastle, Gateshead and beyond. We work to support the enduring mission of those organisations to benefit society, by reducing inequality and enriching lives.

We provide free advice and support to people and organisations to help them make a positive difference, as well as ethical accountancy that directly funds our charitable work.

We campaign for health equality and represent our charity, social enterprise and voluntary community nationally, regionally and locally.

We connect people through events and networks and volunteering, and give people the skills they need to advocate for themselves or turn their ideas into a successful
project.

We work effectively and accountably to inspire positive and lasting change throughout our community.

Our Vision
