Creating happier, 1st class communities
The Poetry Postie has delivered poetic inspiration to the Nation and beyond – including to the United Nations. Her colourful, quirky, interactive projects and performances inspire whole communities to explore the notion of communication – communicating with oneself (something poetry helps one to do) with those close to you and those further away.
Communities Communicating
Our Poetry Postie – Communities Communicating scheme recently won an award in Westminster and was praised for its ‘Outstanding Creativity.’ It delivers innovative, creative literacy workshops to wide and diverse groups in the community.
Those taking part are inspired to help create the contents of a poetic postbag – including poetry postcards, lyrical letters, sing-o-grams and Parcels of Happiness – that can be delivered during celebratory ‘On the Rounds’ deliveries to those in the community who need them most. We make sure that the deliveries are made by and for absolutely everybody, including those with complex needs and disabilities and those on the margins of our society.

Young Reporters
