Students to retirees, experienced or willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you. 

Of interest to anyone looking to find out more about the poetry world, make new contacts, gain valuable skills and experience for their CV, companies wanting to broaden employees’ experience, or those looking to get fun and fulfilment in their retirement and give something back.
