The new literature charity for the South West of England will be called Cyprus Well. The new name proudly celebrates the future home for the charity in Charles Causley's house at No. 2 Cyprus Well in Launceston, Cornwall. While development continues on the house, Cyprus Well will have a second home in Exeter Central Library.
Cyprus Well is charity to enable and nurture literature development activity in South West England: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, unitary authorities of Bath and North East Somerset, Plymouth, Poole, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Torbay.
Cyprus Well will fundraise for and deliver a programme of literature activity awards for all non-profit organisations and individuals to create new literature development opportunities. This is called Grass Roots Literature South West.
Cyprus Well will lead, fundraise for, create and administer a new literature network for South West England: Literature Network South West.
Cyprus Well will support writing and reader development in South West England.
The charity will be recruiting trustees soon.
