Where the Money Goes

Every donation helps a child's story travel further.

Beyond Borders is committed to keeping participation free for children, schools and community groups wherever possible. Every donation, whether it's £5 or £500, helps us give more young people the opportunity to share their creativity with the world.

Your support helps us to:

  • Print beautiful anthologies
    So that children can see their work published in a professionally produced book they'll be proud to keep.

  • Provide free school visits and assemblies
    Helping us introduce the project to schools that may not otherwise be able to take part.

  • Reach more communities
    Supporting promotion, translation where needed, and partnerships with schools and organisations across the world.

  • Celebrate creativity
    Helping us showcase children's stories, poetry and artwork in ways that inspire confidence and encourage a lifelong love of creativity.

  • Deliver books
    Covering packaging and postage so that anthologies can reach contributors, schools and libraries.

  • Keep the project running
    Supporting website hosting, submission systems, design, editing and the day-to-day costs of running an international community project.
