Story

We all faced the Covid-19 pandemic together, but behind closed doors, each experience was unique. As a result of this an anthology of poems, penned by staff, volunteers, residents and children of employees from the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster, invites us to consider the pandemic from many of those individual perspectives.

As well as capturing this historic period to share with others, it is hoped these poems will prompt much-needed discussion around mental health and wellbeing, reminding us all that we are not alone in the many challenges we face in the wake of Covid-19.

This Just Giving page gives the opportunity to donate to the relevant charity by using this page.  All donations for the book raised on this page will be go to Centrepoint as the beneficiary charity of The Lord Mayor of Westminster during 2020/21.

For over 50 years Centrepoint has housed and supported the City of Westminster's most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. Housing is a vital part of Centrepoint's work, but they also support young people to improve their health, re-engage with education and find work. Every day Centrepoint help young people to build the skills and confidence to leave homelessness behind. Centrepoint is an essential part of the community in Westminster, housing over 60 young people each night and operating a resource centre for young people from the very same site where their work started over fifty years ago.

Thank you
