SWIT’CH

The social group of creative writers referred to as SWit’CH, was formed in 2015 at Age UK Swinton community hub – Swinton Writers in t’Critchley Hub

Our aims are to provide an environment for the local community for recreational, social or educational enjoyment of members’ creative writing.

To support each other and strengthen community spirit by co-operative involvement in creative writing.

To cover associated disciplines, including but not limited to, illustrating, editing, proofing, reading, publishing and distributing.

To promote and encourage equal opportunities within the group.

To work closely with other groups having compatible aims and objectives.

Activities of our group are writing, reading and publishing members’ works, including but not limited to fiction and non-fiction, stories, reports, poetry and plays.

Projects will take into consideration the needs and priorities of local people.

Tasks will be set to give maximum variety and challenge.

The work of SWit’CH will take into account how it can be used for the greater benefit of the community in general and not-for-profit organisations whenever possible.

Membership is open to all irrespective of age, race, ability, gender, political or religious belief.

Writers and non-writing support service providers will have equal status and equal rights.

All members will be required to act reasonably with good manners, deference and common sense paramount.
