Community Impact
The Port of Tyne is committed to supporting its local communities by working with organisations that:
• Help communities to thrive
• Support children and young people
• Improve health and wellbeing in the communities around us
In 2022 the Port continued to support a wide range of local organisations. Beneficiaries included Bright Futures, to develop and deliver Young Mums / Mums to Be Groups in two highly deprived areas of South Tyneside,
Smart Works to provide a virtual employment support service helping women to re-enter the job market, Meadow Well Connected to deliver a Health and Wellbeing programme tackling social isolation and mental wellbeing, and Groundworks North East, to support the delivery of a support scheme for Young Carers. Support was also provided to the Greggs Foundation to run breakfast clubs in local schools.
In addition, the Port of Tyne Community Action Fund awarded grants to a number of local projects. These included Women’s Health in South Tyneside, Support and Grow North East Limited, Kids Kabin, Apna Ghar Women’s Centre, Action Station South Tyneside, Friends of Brierdene, Lovaine Community Garden Group and St Paul’s Community Partnership.
