Help Us Thrive: Support Hawkwood

Hawkwood is a charity (no. 311767), and we rely on donations to continue our work. We need to raise funds each year to help us operate, as venue hire and course fees alone do not cover the costs of maintaining our estate and running our programmes. By supporting us, you are helping Hawkwood thrive as a centre for learning, sustainability, and creativity.

Supporting Hawkwood by making either a one off or monthly donation, by becoming a Patron or by leaving a legacy will ensure we are here for generations to come.

If you’ve enjoyed your time at Hawkwood, then your donation can provide opportunities for others to benefit from learning, creating and working in this beautiful setting.

There are many ways that you can donate to support Hawkwood, please scroll down for donation options.

With grateful thanks to our recent supporters

I have been involved with Hawkwood and its residency programme for more than a decade. In my more than twenty-five years as a critic there has never been more urgent need of support for young writers, never a time when imaginative endeavour has been so threatened. Hawkwood’s provision of an inspirational place to work is unique: the resulting work is invigorating the literary and dramatic landscape. This important resource must continue; it needs and deserves strong support.
