TyneTwestival - 25th March @7pm

The date has been set, the charity chosen, the team are powering through a list of catering companies, sponsors  and activities.  All in all, I’d say that @TyneTwestival is going to be the best one yet!

Before we go any further, I think it’s only fair to explain what Twestival is. It started as an impromptu meet up of Twitter users in support of a charity and, in a very short space of time, Twestival has spawned over 500 events in over 250 global cities. We’ve raised hundreds of thousands for charities who support those in desperate need of hope and aid.

This March marks the first Twestival of 2010 and we’ll be supporting Concern . Cities are being registered and plans are being made - and we need you to help out!

Concern is dedicated to reducing poverty and giving hope to the millions of people who need it most. Their aims are simple and direct, their reach is vast - Nepal, Sudan, Uganda, Afganistan, Cambodia among other countries are top of Concerns agenda.

The most recent disaster in Haiti has stretched Concern to the limits and with your generous support, we can help them make a difference. Below is a video detailing how your donations towards Haiti have been spent.

This years Twestival will be hosted by our keen and generous sponsors Northern Film and Media.

It will start at 7pm on the 25th of March and will feature some new innovations from local companies, comedians, an awesome MC, food, drink and one of the best DJ’s the North East has to offer!

Tickets will be going on sale soon - it’ll be a nominal amount which will go towards Concern.

We’re always looking for help and sponsors. We’ll be updating the site with requests in the coming days and hope that you’ll be able to reach out and help make @TyneTwestival your event!
