Support Us
Help us to Continue Our WorkWe believe that writing gives people a voice, and we want to help as many people as possible in the East Midlands find theirs.
We are delighted to be funded by Arts Council England as part of their National Portfolio Fund. This typically covers 83% of the cost of our core work and basic running costs.
Additional funding from trusts and foundations enables work which benefits new, emerging and established writers and engages with a variety of communities, offering people from marginalised groups a space to discover how literature can lift feelings of isolation and give them the opportunity to share their voice with the wider community.
But our continued success depends on us generating income from a variety of sources, including our own community. Trusts and Foundations will rarely fund core or running costs of an organisation, so we need your help.
Even a small donation makes a big difference…
✽ £100 would fund a place for a low-income writer at one of our Writing School courses.
✽ £30 would fund venue hire for a Write Here residency.
✽ £10 would support a young person attending a Young Writers’ Group session.
