On 21st November, from 7pm, at the London Library, Freedom from Torture are putting on a literary festival and fundraiser, Finding the Words.

Join for a star-studded literary evening at the London Library featuring readings by distinguished writers and poets including Julian Barnes, Victoria Hislop, Brian Bilstonand Margaret Busby alongside survivors of torture.

Finding the Words celebrates the strength and resilience so often required when we try to express ourselves. For torture survivors and refugees in the UK, it is often a struggle to find the words to explain their journey and the trauma they have experienced. The readings will highlight life changes, hope, grief and new beginnings.

Enjoy the opportunity to mingle with leading lights from the literary world at our drinks reception with stars from the literary world. Fine wines from Farr Vintners will flow throughout the evening alongside light refreshments.

There is also the biennial poetry competition, judged this year by Alan Hollinghurst and Inua Ellams. Details here for how to submit a poem!

All funds raised on the night go directly to supporting survivors of torture in the UK.

Tickets available here.
