Poetry connects us. It sparks conversation, nurtures self-expression, and brings community  stories to life. We can’t reach everyone who needs us without the support of our community — and that’s where you come in.

​

By getting involved with the Surrey Poet Laureateship, your school, youth group, club, or organisation can help us share the transformative power of poetry more widely across Surrey. Whether through creative fundraising, awareness campaigns, or poetry-inspired events, your group can make a real difference.

​

Two key ways to support us:

Fundraise for us
Host a poetry reading, sponsored challenge, or creative writing event. Every pound raised helps us run Poetry Hubs, workshops, and community programmes that tackle loneliness and build connection.

​

Raise awareness
Share our mission in your newsletters, assemblies, and community spaces. The more people who know about our work, the more lives we can reach through words.

​

Your fundraising will have a real impact on your local community, helping nurture creativity, connection and wellbeing. Together, we can strengthen communities through the power of poetry.
