The writers’ festival is an event dedicated to highlighting and providing a platform for local, national and international creative talent.
With such positive reviews and evaluation by our audience, Hammersmith & Fulham Writers’ Festival 2022 is set to take place across two days!!
20 – 21st August 2022, 10am – 6pm
@195 Wood Ln, London W12 7FQ
The festival platformed a host of authors, writers, playwrights, publishers and poets from across genres, and will be doubly as entertaining.
The idea for a writer’s festival came about during lockdown and after the women and girl’s community organisation, WILDE (women in literature development & empowerment) who host creative and empowerment events found that our borough had no writer’s festival.
The WILDE Foundation is using Eventbrite to organize 15 upcoming events. Check out The WILDE … Hammersmith & Fulham Writers‘ Festival. Multiple Dates. Click here

For survivors of violence against women and girls – particularly those from minoritised and marginalised communities – stigma, shame and isolation create barriers to support. This, coupled with additional unmet needs, can make the day-to-day feel overwhelming.
Our VAWG Grassroots Fund, funded by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), is a richly diverse cohort of 41 women-led organisations who work tirelessly to support these women and girls. Their services particularly support women facing multiple disadvantage where mainstream, generic provision is not always appropriate.
As the fund passes its halfway point, we asked the incredible organisations involved to report on the number of women and girls being supported, and how they are getting on with their recovery.
We are delighted to report that 100% of these organisations shared that their beneficiaries are better able to cope with everyday life because of the support and interventions they have provided. Join us in celebrating this milestone achievement by reading our latest blog.
