Organisations: Free Word

ABOUT

At Free Word, we know that words matter. Speaking out for what they believe makes people feel human. Having the freedom to read and write what we like gives our lives meaning. We need words not just to live but to flourish.

That is why Free Word works to promote, protect and democratise the power of the written and spoken word, nationally and internationally.

Free Word is where media meets literature and people work collaboratively. We will bring together people interested in literature, literacy and free expression with unique programmes and events and attractive facilities, which include a theatre, meeting rooms and a caf�.
