Our older Community Writing Labs are for young writers who want to explore their creativity, meet like-minded young people, and take part in exciting creative projects.
We create a relaxed and safe space for you to spend time writing and exploring your voice and ideas, whilst being supported by our expert mentors.
Each term, there will be the opportunity to take part in a variety of different writing projects, or to create your own, and to have your writing published or performed.
This could include:
“I like it because it gave me a reason to write. I learnt I might even have potential”

All of our community writing labs take place at our Hoxton Street writing centre.
Members must attend secondary school or live in Hackney, Islington or Tower Hamlets.
