Our Summer Together! 2016 programme has now ended but check back soon for more photographs, poems and videos.

Our Carnival Arts programme with Emergency Exit Arts in July  was a big success with the support of the Big Lottery. Click here to read the Pop-Up Poetry Club’s Carnival poems. Thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England, Together! 2012 CIC was then in residency from 1-31 August 2016 at the Grassroots Centre, Memorial Park, Memorial Avenue, West Ham, London E15 3BD.
