Community Investment & Other Support

How we can Help

The Foundation is also able to offer other support through the Professional Services Group (PSG) project.  

 

The Professional Services Group (PSG) - is a professional volunteering service where local professionals donate their time and services to be then matched to the needs of voluntary and community groups in the Tees Valley. 

Eligibility Conditions- applicants need to be:

  • A small community organisation (with less than £100k turnover pa)
  • Based within the Tees Valley - Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton on Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar and Cleveland
  • Formally constituted and/ or incorporated with a constitution or set of rules, with a minimum of three trustees/ directors as elected members

Priority is given to groups and organisations who could not otherwise access professional help due to lack of resource.

If you have any queries or would like to make an application please contact Hayley Wilson on 01642 260860.
