In the last wave of applications, pounds 81,620 was shared out among groups including the Ouch Project of Deckham, Blaydon Writers, Gateshead Sea Cadets, Advocacy in Gateshead and South Tyneside and various sports teams and out-of-school clubs.

A star in the R&B world before she was even out of her teens, Aaliyah's promising career was tragically cut short by her death in a plane crash at age 22. Even with only three albums under her belt, she'd already earned a place as a talented trendsetter among the R&B elite.
