In 2024, Wellspring London and Region / Stratford received a generous grant from the Westminster College Foundation to help us provide a series of programs under our Art Expressions umbrella. One of the programs included was a new initiative – a series of poetry workshops and the publication of a poetry book. The book was made up of poems written by 30 Wellspring participants. 400 copies were originally printed and over half have now been sold, raising additional funds to help support our mission. We couldn’t have anticipated how incredibly successful these workshops and the book have proven to be! Books are available for purchase in both our London and Stratford Centres.
It is with heartfelt gratitude and profound appreciation that we thank Westminster College Foundation for this generous grant. This funding has been pivotal in transforming our vision into reality, enabling us to deliver a poetry course and anthology that are not only artistic endeavors but also profound sources of solace and empowerment for the members of our Wellspring Centres and those who support us.
Together, we have created a beacon of hope and creativity that will continue to inspire and uplift for years to come.
