I want to hear more about your projects

Taking part in literature can be many things, from reading or listening to stories, writing creatively, contributing to workshops, or enjoying visits by authors in schools, communities, and festivals. It’s integral to the culture of Wales, and before the COVID-19 pandemic there were over 150 local literature groups in Wales hosting workshops and events in their communities right across the nation.

We believe that everyone has the right to take part in and enjoy literature in all its forms, and we work to ensure better access across the country. We support activities by offering financial contributions, by working in partnership, and by creating a community of skilled facilitators. Below you will find examples of how we have delivered, supported, or facilitated projects through our participation work.
