Projects

Initially conceived during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 NE1 lobbied for and awarded over £470,000 to more than 200 businesses to allow them to improve and increase their outdoor space, giving businesses the opportunity to trade throughout restrictions and safeguarding many businesses and jobs. 

Alive after Five was launched in October 2010 and remained in place until the Covid pandemic. It was both a response to the challenge of online competition and the result of NE1 having identified the huge commercial opportunity that lay in bridging the gap between Newcastle’s daytime and evening offers.
