Funders and Supporters

While increasingly self-supporting, TDI could not have pursued such innovative and creative work over the last 25 years without the support of grant-making bodies. It is often a brave decision to back the work of such a small charity in what is something of a unfashionable field and it is a sign of the quality of TDI’s output and reputation that so many have. These have been:

• The Barbour Foundation

• Government Office for the North East
• The Hadrian Trust
