I am doing a version of Sober September to raise funds for The Newcastle Rally for Europe on 15.10.16 - 1pm @ Monument.

The North East, a net recipient of European funds, could lose up to £430M in EU funding after Brexit. Being part of Europe also helps us with trade and investment from across the globe. Up to 160,000 jobs in the North East are closely linked to our membership and rely on EU trade.

Newcastle Rally for Europe are asking you to come together, in a city that voted to REMAIN in the EU, to celebrate our close links and our partnerships with Europe and with the EU, and to emphasise the international, positive, forward looking and optmistic nature of our region and our communities. We deplore all the outbreaks of xenophobia and racism that we have witnessed in recent weeks. Help them build a powerful and impactful rally.

All funds collected here will go directly towards the costs of organising, holding and promoting the 15th October rally. This includes getting the word out through advertising, booking entertainment, paying for audio-visual equipment and other infrastructure, co-ordinating stewards and many other elements. The more we raise, the bigger and better the rally will be and the more impact we can all have.
