TT2 Limited, the operator of the Tyne Tunnels, is inviting charities, community groups, educational organisations and environmental projects across the North East to apply for support through its Community Fund.
The fund forms part of TT2’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, which aims to create positive social value and support projects that deliver lasting benefits for local communities. Since 2022, TT2 has supported 94 charities, donated more than £380,000, and contributed over 400 hours of staff volunteering.
Applications are welcomed from organisations whose work aligns with one or more of TT2’s four funding priorities:
- Supporting local people and communities
- Creating opportunities for regional growth
- Building a sustainable service for future generations
- Providing safe and efficient transport connections
Funding is available for projects that deliver meaningful social, environmental or community benefits, with priority given to initiatives that directly support communities within TT2’s operating region.
Applications are reviewed quarterly by the TT2 CSR Review Panel, with decisions typically communicated within three weeks. Organisations can also request support through corporate volunteering opportunities alongside financial assistance.
The next Community Fund Committee meeting will take place in January 2027. Applications submitted after this deadline will be considered in the following funding round.
