Become our Friend

When friends believe
In us, the chrysalis grows tight and splits
And struggling out,
we fly.

Anna Crowe, from ‘The Impossible’

Our Friends and donors help us to collect, conserve and share poetry with everyone. We offer a range of benefits to Friends, but all donations help our work. For example, £10 helps us to provide resources for schools; £25 buys 4 books for our lending collection; £50 subsidises two workshop places for community groups.

For more information and other ways to pay please contact friends@spl.org.uk.

About Gift Aid

Gift Aid increases the value of membership contributions and donations to charities by allowing them to reclaim basic rate tax on your gift. It allows us to claim 25% on top of your donation, for example, on a £50 membership or donation, we can claim back an additional £12.50.

We would like to reclaim gift aid on your behalf. We can only reclaim Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer. Please confirm that you are eligible for Gift Aid. More about Gift Aid.
