Wor Diary is a collectively made, hand drawn A5 ringbound diary which celebrates the underground history and culture of Newcastle and the North East. The 2015 edition had weeks based on all kinds of themes and subjects. It’s a pro-community, pro-feminist, pro-niceness diary. Anyone can contribute pages to the diary, regardless of previous drawing experience. WOR DIARY 2016 is the 8th Edition, each one has been collated by a diverse range of people from the local community in the North East.
The money raised will help go towards the costs of getting WOR DIARY to print , we hope to have the project finished and launched by early November. Any additional proceeds will go to a local good cause.
In previous years the proceeds went to Tyneside Rape Crisis Centre and the Star and Shadow cinema, a community run, horizontally-organized cinema and social space. The proceeds from this years diary are going to West End Refugee Service (WERS) a registered charity which provides support services for asylum seekers and refugees in a friendly, welcoming environment. The range of integrated services aims to address the disadvantage, exclusion and poverty which affect asylum seekers and refugees living in the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne. You can find out more information WERS through their website http://www.wers.org.uk/ .
