If you enjoy the work we do, and you're looking for a gift for someone passionate about writing, books and free expression, why not give them a year’s membership with English PEN?
We are one of the world's oldest human rights organisations, championing the freedom to write and the freedom to read around the world. As a member of English PEN, your loved one will be part of our vibrant community of writers, readers and activists, protecting freedom of expression whenever it is under attack.
Membership includes regular updates about our work and appeals; opportunities to lend support to campaigns or to volunteer at events or workshops; access to exclusive members-only events, early invites to our renowned literary events programme, and voting rights at our AGM.
