Since SHINE was established in 1999, we have invested more than £34.5 million in projects helping over 1.4 million children from 20,000 schools. Almost 200,000 of these children have been reached by SHINE-funded programmes in schools; and in addition, more than 1.2 million disadvantaged children have benefitted from access to SHINE-funded programmes online.

The year in review
We have worked hand-in-hand with some of the North’s best teachers to develop new and impactful projects that support the region’s most disadvantaged children.
Meanwhile, established projects have been expanded so they now benefit many more students.
