Thanks for taking the time to visit the Literary Laughs 2023 fundraising page for StandOut.

Catherine Deptford and Maria Stuff run Literary Laughs, a fundraising initiative helping people to run literary festive parties to raise funds for a charity of their choice. We give hosts ideas plus free literary quizzes and games for their party as well as asking all participants to vote in our very popular Book Club Awards.

StandOut helps people leaving prison by delivering intensive group programmes inside prison followed by 1:1 individually-tailored support after release. Their mission is that more people leaving prison are empowered to transform their own lives, realise their potential and escape the justice system for good.
