We’re thrilled to announce that Tamsin Hopkins is our first writer in residence.
Effective from June 2026 she will continue to run her regular online poetry workshops, with further workshops and events to be announced. The aim is to continue offering writing opportunities that use a positive outlook to engage with the environment.
Having a writer in residence will further our involvement in literary activities, help to spread awareness of our work to a wider audience, and enable us to raise even more for the vital work of seagrass restoration in the Solent.
We wish her good luck and look forward to the programme she is developing.
Follow Tamsin on Eventbrite to receive notice of her workshop dates and find out more about her.
