Organisations who have previously undertaken an Arrow project are also able to apply again.

Arrow is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through Durham County Council and the North of Tyne Combined Authority (now administered by the North East Combined Authority) as the lead authority in their respective areas.
