Amid the national lockdowns in the UK, a spark ignited within a tight-knit collective of local writers. The realisation dawned upon them like a vivid ink stroke on parchment

This band of visionary scribes sensed a kinship of kindred spirits, writers yearning to step onto the grand stage of the spoken word, and together, raise voices from isolation's depths. Out of this shared longing, the seeds of Words Out Loud were sown. Their tale took shape as a Charitable Trust, a vessel to nurture their aspirations and bring forth the artistic tapestry they envisioned.

Today, Words Out Loud burgeons with boundless potential, a constellation of plans twinkling in the firmament. Curated performances brimming with verve, workshops that cradle nascent musings, competitions to ignite fierce flames of creativity, and poetry slams that echo with the rhythmic pulse of shared passion. A constellation that embraces both the tangible and the virtual, as monthly open-mic events unfurl in local spaces and traverse digital horizons through Zoom, uniting voices from the far reaches of the globe.

In the quiet moments of solitude, a collective dream blossomed. From a whisper, it transformed into the vibrant resonance of spoken tales, birthing Words Out Loud.
