Support us

The Northern Writers’ Centre is a £5.2m project. Newcastle University has committed £2.5m towards the project, leaving £2.7m to be raised to complete the project.

Our fundraising challenge

During 2007-2008 we will be making applications for support to statutory and corporate partners and developing individual giving to bring our plans to fruition.

Patrons

Many leading writers and producers from around the UK are supporting our ambitions to create the Northern Writers’ Centre. Over the coming year we will be making announcements as more writers join the line-up.
