Paula's Literary Charitable Trust

Nestled in the heart of Waikato, Paula's Literary Charitable Trust has been a beacon of inspiration and support for over two decades. Founded by our beloved local literary icon, Paula, our trust has been dedicated to fostering a love for books, poetry, and the written word among children and young writers. At our core, we are a charitable trust that believes in the transformative power of literature. We strive to provide employment opportunities while championing the cause of children's literature. Our mission is simple yet profound: to inspire the next generation of writers by providing them with the tools, resources, and encouragement they need to express their creativity. Throughout the years, we have embarked on numerous initiatives that reflect our commitment to this cause. From organizing school visits where we share our passion for literature and creative writing, to participating in local and national literary events and competitions, we are always seeking opportunities to make a difference. Our Poetry Box blog is a testament to our dedication. It serves as an online platform for young writers, offering them a space to share their work, receive feedback, and connect with like-minded individuals. The blog also features engaging content about literature, poetry, and the writing process, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in these fields. But our work doesn't stop at providing resources. We are equally committed to creating opportunities for young writers to showcase their talent. Our trust serves as a platform for emerging voices, giving them the chance to be heard and celebrated. In essence, Paula's Literary Charitable Trust is more than just an organization. It's a community that believes in the power of words, the magic of stories, and the limitless potential of young writers. So, whether you're a budding writer looking for guidance, a teacher seeking resources for your classroom, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of literature, we invite you to join us on this wonderful journey. Together, we can inspire, educate, and make a lasting impact on children's lives through the power of books and poetry.
