The Poetry Society needs you!

Over the past ten months we’ve been undergoing a much-needed project to transform The Poetry Society’s office and community spaces, including the much-loved Poetry Café. We've had essential work done to increase the capacity, accessibility and comfort of our public spaces, and improve and update the offices above. 

We are re-opening the café in June and are now so close to reaching our fundraising target for completion of our renovations – but we need your help to reach the final 10% of our target. 

Please support us in this final stretch of our fundraising journey by making a donation to The Poetry Society Building Campaign. By donating, you will be directly supporting us in our mission to create a central position for poets and poetry across the UK and beyond; our rejuvenated Poetry Society spaces will be invaluable in helping us carry out our work. From this building, we place poets in schools across the country, run vital talent development programmes, and publish the UK’s leading poetry magazine, The Poetry Review. 

£2.50-£10 could pay for a new light switch or door handle.

£50-£100 could pay for a chair or wash hand basin.

£250 could pay for new speakers or a new fire door. 

Every donation, no matter how large or small, will make a huge difference in helping us to create a home for poetry in the years to come. We hope you’ll be a part of it.
