What We Do

From the corruption of truth to pervasive new technologies, and from poverty and inequality to the rise of political extremism, George Orwell's concerns are as relevant today as they were to the circumstances in which his great novels were conceived. The Orwell Foundation is an independent charity: through our prestigious prizes, public events and work with young writers, we offer a platform for debate and discussion designed to appeal to the widest possible audience, connecting with everyone to whom George Orwell and his writings are a source of inspiration.
