Coda Music and Arts Trust is a charity based on the Dorset-Hampshire border, dedicated to making music and creativity accessible for all. We believe in the power of the arts to support wellbeing, inclusion, and personal growth through participation, learning, and therapy. We offer a wide range of opportunities-from music lessons and creative workshops to group music-making and arts therapies-designed for people of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s after-school sessions for kids or wellbeing programmes for adults, Coda provides meaningful, creative experiences for the whole community!

Winchester Poetry Festival – a registered charity – is a local and national poetry community that inspires and excites everyone to read, write, perform, and enjoy poetry in all its forms. Our work ranges from our acclaimed biennial festival and our popular competitions, to our wider year-round engagement work with community organisations and schools. We share, showcase, celebrate, and champion great poetry because we believe in its power to bring us all together and make a positive, enriching difference to our lives and to our society. We collaborate with a wide range of partners and businesses – including with Hampshire Cultural Trust and the work of the Hampshire Poet – and and we act as a local. national & international hub for poetry.
