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.

​

Three ways to support us:

Donate a raffle prize

We host a vibrant calendar of events throughout the year, with our raffles serving as a highlight for our guests and a vital source of funding for the Surrey Poet Laureateship. We are always looking for exciting prizes to include - from gift vouchers and hampers to unique experiences.

​

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.

​

Whether you choose to donate a prize, fundraise for us, or help us spread the word, we want to celebrate you. From social media shout-outs to recognition at our local events, we’ll put your brand in the spotlight. It’s our way of ensuring our dedicated audience knows about the incredible businesses that make our work in the community possible.
