A message from our Chief Executive:

“Having the support of individuals who share our belief in the importance of writing and stories and the power they unleash is crucial to our work.

Your support will enable us to work with more young people and adults to discover and foster their creativity. Your voice will add to the growing network of champions we’re creating to ensure that reading and writing for pleasure and empowerment is valued and promoted. Your backing will help us make the National Centre for Writing at Dragon Hall a place where everyone can discover the power of words. Thank you!”

Chris Gribble, NCW Chief Executive, 2006 – 2023

NCW is a charity and simply can’t deliver the range and depth of the work it does without support from individuals.
