Story
2 hours in minus seven. In Rovaniemi, Lapland. Lots of thumbs up, smiles and strange looks. Met Santa Claus and gave him some of the books we have published of the children's incredible work. If you want to know why I would travel 1,340 miles to raise money for a children's group just visit the Creative Walden YouTube channel and see some of their amazing achievements.
Thank you for all your amazing generosity.

Giving them the courage to be creative
To keep Writers Room open we need to raise as much money as possible. We are now entering our seventh year and the coffers are empty. The work we do includes hepling a lot of very talented children, many are neurodiverse. Writing gives them a creative outlet. When you see them grow in confidence and self-belief there is no greater satisfaction. Let's keep it going.

Thanking you truly
For this year brought me joy
It bought me courage
I can’t wait for Writers club
I open my story
Write a chapter or two
With you, Paul and Lee, right beside
Helping out with your opinions
And reassuring me
That it’s good
That it’s mine
This year and next
The year after and the year after that
Writers club is ours
I’m thanking you truly
For this year
I can’t wait for 2024
