PRide North East Awards shortlist announced

Published: 25th July 2017

We’re thrilled to make the shortlist in two categories at this year’s Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) PRide North East Awards for the delivery of PR on behalf of our client Tyne Housing Association.

We have been shortlisted in the Not-for-Profit Campaign and Low Budget Campaign categories for the delivery of PR for Tyne Housing’s Crowdfunder campaign to raise funds for Ouseburn Farm in Byker.

The Crowdfunder campaign aimed to raise £20,000 to fund the running costs of the Farm. After a successful 28-day period, the campaign raised £34,000 and attracted 830 supporters, including celebrity Dame Barbara Windsor DBE!

Up North Communications is one of eight companies shortlisted across both categories and the regional final will be held on 8 December at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle.
