The Northumbrian Industrial Mission is an ecumenical body founded in 1971 to bring together under common management the mission of the sponsoring churches and other sponsoring bodies, to industry and commerce in North Durham and Northumberland. Chaplains now have a broader remit combining an industrial focus – the traditional Chaplaincy in the workplace – with a more holistic, multi-discipline approach in collaboration with other ministries and local agencies to tackle economic regeneration issues in their local areas. More recently NIM has refocused its method of working to increase its ability to work ecumenically in partnership with local church structures to encourage, enable and resource them to engage with, and bear witness in, the secular world and its institutions especially the world of work.

Tees Valley Ministry is a project of the Churches’ Regional Commission working in the Tees Valley and South-West Durham and was formed from the merger of the Teesside Industrial Mission and Respond!
TVM exists to create a mutual understanding, trust and support between industry, commerce, community and the churches. Its values are:
- TVM acts as a sign of God’s presence and involvement in the experience of work, paid or unpaid.
- Economic structures, business, wealth creation and employment are important in God’s creative purpose for all people everywhere.
- The Christian Gospel calls the Church to work for justice and to be alongside all people and communities, especially those marginalised by the way we organise our economic and social life.
- Economic, social and spiritual regeneration is the concern of the Church.
- TVM works for unity in diversity within the churches and other faith communities and for a more holistic Society
