Five ways in
Find your way into the work
Run a school? Write poems? Have a Saturday free, or a budget to place? Each route below takes about five minutes and reaches a real person.
Register your school
Bring the Punpoets Creative Club to your pupils. Tell us about your school and we will get back to you with next steps, dates and everything a club needs to run.
Register our school 02Register for the launch
The Punpoets Creative Club launch brings schools, poets, teachers and families into one room. Seats are limited — register and we will send you the details.
Register my place 03Apply as a facilitator
Facilitators run a weekly club in a partner school — roughly two hours a week. You bring the enthusiasm; we bring the training, the session plans and the community.
Send my application 04Become a volunteer
Clubs and events do not run on poetry alone. Photographers, designers, logistics people, social media hands — if you can give a few hours, there is a place for you.
Count me in 05Partner or sponsor
Back a club, fund a launch, host a showcase, or put your CSR budget behind young writers. Tell us what you have in mind and we will send a proposal built around it.
Start the conversation 06Ask for a club at your child’s school
Clubs start because someone asks for one. Tell us where your child goes to school and we will approach them — and we will keep you posted either way.

Questions
Before you commit
No. Registering is free, and running a club costs the school nothing. Where a school cannot cover materials, our partners do.
Roughly two hours a week across a term, at a time that suits your timetable. Most schools run it after school or in a dedicated club slot.
A room or hall, a staff contact who can let the facilitator in and keep a register, and pupils who want to be there. We bring the facilitator, the curriculum, the prompts and the materials.
Both primary and secondary. Session plans are written for the age in the room, so tell us your year groups when you register.
No. You need enthusiasm for poetry and a willingness to be trained. Many of our facilitators are poets and mentorship alumni rather than teachers.
About two hours a week for the club itself, plus a short prep. Training happens in cohorts before you are matched with a school.
Facilitator roles are currently volunteer positions with expenses covered. As partnerships grow we intend to change that, and facilitators are first in line when we do.
Event support, photography, video, design, social media, logistics, admin and mentoring. Tell us your skills and availability and we will match you to something real.
No. Volunteers are on a roster and we reach out when something matching your skills comes up. Say yes when you can.
Facilitator training, session materials, anthology production and showcase costs — venue, sound and photography. We report back on exactly where it went.
Yes. Sponsoring one club covers a facilitator, materials and a full term of weekly sessions for a whole cohort, and you can be named in that school.
