Live Canon hasn't added a story.
One of the things that is most important to Live Canon is outreach and work with young people.
So we are raising funds for a series of workshops in state schools in Autumn 2016, and drop in sessions in libraries.
These sessions aim to build young people's love of language and engage with their innate enthusiasm for poetry. We get children writing and creating, then up and performing - increasing their confidence, and pride. Some projects have involved creating recordings and films with young people of their poems.
We use poets and actors to deliver the workshops. All of whom have so much to give to - and share with - young people.
Schools and libraries make a contribution to our costs. But their budgets are so squeezed as well at the moment, that we try to fundraise to match fund (and to make sure we are paying our actors and poets a living wage).
We'd like to run a series of workshops in schools in the Autumn term. And a drop in at a different library every weekend for three months.
We need £5000 of subsidy to do that. We have applied to lots of trusts and grant giving foundations, but we have also created this page, with a target of £1000 in case any individual is feeling generous enough to help us. Any donation, however small, will help. And if we raise more than £1000...! well then, we will just be able to offer more workshops...
