The poems I write can be found at this blog http://athspoemaday.blogspot.co.uk/

Last year I took part in NaPoWriMo, National Poetry Writing Month for the first time. The challenge was to write one complete poem a day for the month of April. I didn't know if I could do it but after 100 hours of writing I managed it. This year I'm planning on doing the same but for charity - this gives me some extra pressure to make sure the poems are of a decent standard. I've chosen the National Literacy Trust as one of my four charities. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
