Surrey 
Poet Laureateship

Welcome to the Surrey Poet Laureateship, an initiative dedicated to celebrating and perpetuating the rich tapestry of poetry in our historic county. At the heart of our mission is about weaving the stories and spirit of Surrey into a legacy that resonates with every resident.

​

Our outreach initiatives are the lifeblood of our mission. We are committed to bringing poetry to children, igniting a spark of creativity in our future generations, and reaching out to the vulnerable, offering a voice and an ear through the power of words. Additionally, we recognise the therapeutic potential of poetry for those struggling with mental health issues, providing a unique form of expression and healing. Our laureate, along with a dedicated team, works tirelessly to create poetic dedications that reflect the beauty, challenges, and triumphs of Surrey and its people.

​

But we need your support. Join us in this poetic journey to enrich lives and communities. Your contributions help us reach every corner of Surrey, from bustling town centres to quiet rural hamlets, ensuring that the joy and wisdom of poetry are shared by all.
