Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of education','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science'

Almost everyone believes they have a book in them but most don’t know how to start. Some people have started writing but don’t have the confidence to continue or finish the task. We aim to help all of them begin writing, and to improve their writing skills by running workshops, holding ‘open mic’ sessions to help people build their confidence in reading their stories aloud and receiving constructive feedback, and by publishing their stories and poetry in books and online. We want generally to persuade the public to write, and specifically encourage schoolchildren to write.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are: 4.1 The advancement of education through provision of information and training in writing and related skills. 4.2 The advancement of the arts by encouraging and supporting people to become writers in a variety of genres and media.
