For young people

Supporting a lifelong love of writing, books and ideas

We believe that building meaningful connections between young people and creative opportunities to explore a passion for writing leads to greater confidence, better mental wellbeing, enhanced connection, and a greater opportunity to develop and thrive artistically and socially. 

We run workshops in schools as well as opening our doors at Dragon Hall to writers and readers of all ages and backgrounds. 

Whether you’re a parent, carer or educator, whether your children are at school or schooled at home, our programme of creative activities your children and young people are available throughout the year.

Our activities for families and young people are supported by Anguish’s Educational Foundation, The Arts Society Charity Grants, Bacon Charitable Trust, Charles Littlewood Hill Trust, Educational Foundation of Alderman John Norman, John and Pamela Salter Charitable Trust, Norwich Freemen’s Charity and Paul Bassham Charitable Trust.

Made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
