Our funders

Balance is funded by the North East’s Primary Care Trusts and also receives support from the North East Police Forces with a full time seconded Police Officer leading on the crime and disorder programme.

The organisation also brings together a number of other partners and stakeholders including:

• Local authorities
• Health services
• Police forces
• Emergency services
• Voluntary agencies
• Alcohol support groups
• Treatment services
• Prison and probation services

Alcohol misuse costs the region £1.29billion each year – that’s £437 for every man, woman and child in the North East. One of Balance’s aims is to reduce this – and reduce it significantly.

The work we do has already started to make a real difference in the region and with the support of partners and public in the North East we aim to make an even bigger impact.
