Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Brighton Poem-a-thon for refugees

A bunch of poets, whose job is to speak, have decided to speak up and put your money where their mouth is. There is good work to be done and we are doing what we can to support it and do it.

Between 12 noon to 10 pm on Sunday 11th December, I will be taking part in a relay of 60 poets and readers who will each read for 8 minutes at the Komedia, Gardner Street, Brighton. BN1 1U. My slot is at 9 pm. Some of my good friends, colleagues and poets that I love are going to be performing too. Drop in for as little or as much of the day as you like.

ENTRY IS FREE so come and have a beer or tea and a cake, but don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to give. As well as The Refugee Council receiving our JustGiving donations, we will be raising money at the event for The School Bus Project, providing mobile education for refugees.
