The work will be delivered across the North of Tyne area (Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside).

The new skills team is supported by the North of Tyne Combined Authority’s Skills for Growth Fund. This important new area of work prepares the groundwork for New Writing North’s development of a new Centre for Writing in Newcastle upon Tyne.
