Support us

With the launch of our new Friends and Patrons schemes, it has never been easier to support our work and keep up-to-date with our activities.

Become a Friend

By becoming a Friend of the Orwell Foundation you will be joining a growing community of supporters dedicated to promoting and furthering Orwell’s legacy. Friends also receive:

  • Priority booking for selected events
  • Two complimentary tickets to Foundation events each year
  • Our regular supporters’ newsletter

Friends can join the scheme for £120/year, or £60/year for concessions (monthly payment options are also available).

Become a Patron

For supporters wishing to make a significant annual contribution, our Patrons scheme offers additional exciting opportunities to take part in promoting George Orwell’s legacy.

Patrons of the Orwell Foundation also have access to exciting opportunities to take part in strengthening George Orwell’s influence and impact, including exclusive Patrons events.

How else can I get involved?

The Orwell Foundation is committed to promoting and furthering George Orwell’s legacy through our diverse range of programmes and initiatives. While becoming a Friend or Patron provides valuable support, there are other ways you can contribute to our work:

Become a volunteer reader

The work of our volunteers is what makes The Orwell Youth Prize unique. More than just a prize, we offer support to all young people who put pen to paper (or fingers to keypads) through the delivery of personalised feedback and a fair judging process.

Make a one-off donation

Make a one-time donation to support the Foundation’s ongoing work. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us continue championing Orwell’s values.

Become a partner or sponsor

None of what we do would be possible without the generous support of our partners and sponsors, from our essential core funders to project funders and prize sponsors. To find out more about opportunities to work together or arrange an initial conversation please get in touch with our Deputy Director Liz Wallace at liz.wallace@orwellfoundation.com.
