Forward Arts Foundation is a registered charity: our mission is to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of poetry.

Through programmes including the Forward Prizes and National Poetry Day, we celebrate excellence in poetry, support poets, change lives by giving people the confidence to create and communicate, and strengthen communities. We need your help to continue our work.
