Inclusivity underpins all that we do, so we’re excited to announce a brand new collaboration with the Walcot Foundation to ensure that local children from all walks of life have access to brilliantly bookish experiences.
We have partnered with local social inclusion charity, The Baytree Centre, to run fortnightly Write Club sessions after-school with their fantastic community.
We’ve also launched a half terms and holiday ‘Write Club’ at Station Hall for Lambeth kids, providing FREE creative writing and book-creation workshops for children aged 8-11. The programme gives children the chance to unleash their creativity, have fun exploring how to make children’s books, and meet some of the nation’s best loved children’s authors and illustrators.
‘Every time I came here, I was really excited. I think it really changed me into another person’,
Charlotte, age 9
This programme is funded by The Walcot Foundation and open exclusively to Lambeth residents, aged 8-11, who are eligible for free school meals or other income-related household benefits.

Anyone can draw dinosaurs. Ever wanted to draw a T.rex or a stegosaurus? In this workshop we’ll start by learning to draw a few different kinds of dinosaur. Don’t worry, you don’t need any experience and anyone can do it. After that we’ll move on to creating our own dinosaur characters and working together to improvise an adventure for them to go on together.
​
Christian Darkin is the author of over a dozen books for young adults and children.His books are action packed and often funny. Many have science at the heart of their stories. Christian is a regular visitor to schools as a speaker, and, in his other job, he creates animation and visual effects for TV and film (working on productions recently nominated for innovation and children's TV production awards).
With thanks to our 2025 supporters
