About the charity

After 10 successful years, Writernet is winding up and needs your help so that the organisation can end well and leave a clean space for what might come next. Since it evolved from New Playwrights Trust, writernet has worked to support playwriting across the UK. We have done this by working with hundreds of individual playwrights, dozens and dozens of organisations which work with playwrights to produce and develop their work, and those responsible for funding and promoting them. Writernet has achieved this with no regular funding at all during those 10 years. We have consistently aimed to do what we do at no cost, or as little cost to individual playwrights as possible, on the basis that as freelance artists they are usually least well placed to have disposable funds. No-one likes asking for money. But we need it so that Jonathan, Sarah and others can complete their work, and allow the organisation to end well. We feel we have been a valuable part of the new writing landscape over the past decade, and beyond. If you agree and you or your institution would like to help us complete our work, then please donate what you can. Thanks, we really appreciate your support.
