About Us
The Eastside Primetimers Foundation
We are a focused, grant-giving organisation
Our ambition is to…………..
………free up the latent potential of skilled and experienced volunteers
……..focus that latent potential on new social projects
……..incubate projects that help individuals to overcome barriers to learning, volunteering and employment
………use the money we raise to invest in the development of these social projects and in the individuals they benefit.
We are a not-for-profit organisation with our own independent Board of Trustees.
We have been around since 2004 and over that period we helped to establish Eastside People which is recognised as one of the top social enterprises in the country, featuring within the Natwest SE 100 of the UK’s 100 most impressive social enterprises.
We take pride in the way we have adapted our work to meet the changing world in which chariities and social enterprises operate. Initially we focused on mid and late-career transition into the charity sector. We then became involved in consultancy and directly supporting grant funders, including a number of Government funded programmes. Today, we are focusd on incubating social projects utilising volunteers who have a breadth of skills and experience.
