This is our own scheme to try and secure a basic income for our work and it is currently being reviewed and redesigned so that it works effectively.
The North End is often seen as a creative and cultural desert but we know there are many people in our communities - individuals and companies full of imagination. If you want the chance to be involved in the creative life of the city please consider becoming a Friend of North End Writers.
Since starting the scheme people from all walks of life have become Friends, including the actors David Morrissey and Alison Steadman.
To become a friend we ask you to send a donation to our usual address giving your address and contact details. We will keep you informed of all events and publications as well as sending our newsletter to you at least twice a year. Remember to let us know if you don’t want to be mentioned in any of our publications.
