Branches Abound is a valuable collection of poetry open to anyone in Suffolk aged 16 and over with three themes:
The Environment,
Mental Health Recovery & Wellbeing, and
Covid Reflections.
Our dedicated project website contains all qualifying poetry that has been submitted, as well as a video demonstrating an idea for writing poetry in the 'Resources' section:
The project is intended to bring value to the authors of submitted works and encourage others to express themselves and be open about these topics.
This initiative has been sponsored through Suffolk County Council's Engaged Communities Responses and Recovery Fund and is part of a wider creative project working with volunteers in recovery.
We have a book with a selection of poetry from Branches Abound together with line drawings created by participants in our Abbey Tales project. See our shop section for where to buy.
