Enterprise Hub: Developing A Literature/ Poetry Project

Writing on the Wall are the first and only creative partner of Enterprise Hub, who can offer you free business start-up advice.

• The project team

• The audience

• Workshops for adults, young people and primary ages

• Partnering with arts orgs

• Partnering with charities

• Working in the judicial system

• Creating a body of work from your project

• Organising events tours
