DONATIONS:
You can donate per event, per month or request a season (block of 10 workshops). Please let us know which month(s) you wish to receive the links for.
Please bear in mind, ticketed Writing Workshops cost between £7-20+, the annual running costs of St. Richard's Hospice are over £12million. The incredible work they do relies on donations and gifts left in wills. The care to their patients and families is free.
WLFF make no money from this campaign and 100% of your money (minus the part JG take, which the Hospice is in support of) goes to St. Richard's.
We appreciate not everyone is in a position to give, it is why we offer a bursary space on each workshop.
Email for a bursary place if needed or more information if required: bookingsworcslit@gmail.com
Remember £3 is 300 pennies better than nothing...

Each year we add to the campaign programme! Last year we delivered a LIVE Fundraiser for you to celebrate 6 months of GYD. This year there is something special in the pipeline waiting for January 2027, a SHORT COURSE on Poetry (4x wks), before returning to GYD By-donation writing workshops Feb - March to conclude the campaign.
You have supported the GYD projects wonderfully in the past and we hope to see many of you back for more!

For anyone not interested in the offerings, please feel free to drop a donation anyway and you can all help by spreading the word and sharing this JG page.

Her Grandma, Betty Parry, was a patient and her Grandpa, Bert Parry, received support from the specialist Community Nursing Team at home, many decades ago.
We are raising funds for the hospice in memory of her amazing grandparents!
