Poetry has the power to transform lives - giving people a voice, building confidence, and bringing communities closer together. But we need you. We rely solely on voluntary donations to bring this transformative art to people across Surrey, reaching those who need it most.

​

Our goal is to ensure that every resident of Surrey, regardless of age, background, or location, has the opportunity to experience the joy and profundity of poetry.
