New Writing North would like to thank all the people and organisations that allow us to deliver the level of work that we do.

Firstly, a big thank you to the board of New Writing North, who support us in all of the essential day to day matters that we encounter running a small business. We have always found our board to be immensely active and we thank them for this level of continued support.

We wouldn’t however be anything without the inspiration and support that we receive from the writers who live and work in the north of England. Thank you.

We would like to thank Arts Council England for the support that they give for our core work and activities. We work with a range of project officers at Arts Council England North East and we appreciate their ongoing interest in our work.

The projects that New Writing North delivers are supported by a range of private and public sponsors which we would also like to thank. All our supporters are credited next to information about the projects that they support on our website (see the Projects section of the site). We would however like to give special mention here to supporters who we feel have allowed us to originate pioneering programmes of work over the last few years, so a very special thank you to:

Arts Council England North East
For continued support of our core funding and also for occasional project support for projects such as the African Writing Festival in 2009. ACE also made our participation in the Cultural Sector Development Initiative possible. This very useful scheme of European Regional Development Funding, which supported many writers from 2004-2008.

Northern Rock Foundation
For their imaginative and brave support for the Northern Rock Foundation Writer’s Award up until 2008 and for supporting our Magnetic North programme of events from 2003-2005.

Bussey and Armstrong, Darlington
For inspiring such a fantastic range of events as part of the Writing Westpark project and for proving that modern-day philanthropy is possible.

Orange
For supporting programmes of work with young people and for helping to set up the Play with Your Food lunchtime theatre project.

The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
For supporting the Juice programme, which kickstarted our work in the education sector, for supporting the Magnetic North programme from 2003-2005 and for their current support of the Even Better Writers project in schools and of the North East Theatre Consortium.

The Leighton Group
For their confident three-year sponsorship of the Northern Writers’ Awards.

Northumbria University
Our home at the Holy Jesus Hospital is supported by Northumbria University, the National Trust and Newcastle City Council.


Getting the New Writing North site together is always a huge undertaking, so thanks also to:

To the people that worked/work on the production of the website: Jacqui Wicks (project co-ordinator for the first phase of the site), John Adair (our current web editor and site developer) and Inovica (our web gurus) who designed and host the site.

To Keith Pattinson, Sasa Savic and Dermot Blackburn, whose photos grace our pages.

This site was conceived and written for New Writing North by Claire Malcolm, Anna Disley, Holly Hooper and John Adair.

With thanks to everyone who has passed on knowledge or allowed us to quote them for this site.

Claire Malcolm, Director, New Writing North
