New-U is fortunate to work with some fantastic partners, stakeholders, and funders who help us deliver our charitable mission. We are incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to our work and the positive impact they help us create in the community.

Current Projects and Funders

Thanks to vital funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we’re able to continue delivering our core aims for the long-term — supporting individuals through work placements and offering a range of community initiatives. This includes running our popular £1 clothing sales and creative upcycling activities, providing wider support for individuals looking to build confidence, skills, and connections and collaborating with stakeholders and partners for the continuous evolution of New-U.

Other Partners and Funders

We are delighted to support the young comperes on the night providing smart outfits to help them shine on stage as well as supporting The Flourish Youth Awards for Volunteering and Participation which recognises the impact young people’s volunteering and participation have on their community and their own personal development.
