Creative Writing Group
If you have a neurological condition and would like some space to yourself to explore a variety of writing styles, then this could be the group for you!
You do not need to have any previous writing experience and beginners are very welcome. We will be exploring a variety of writing styles; Including poetry, prose, dialogue and working with prompts. We will be working to a variety of themes including Dreams, Memories, Colour, History and the Elements.
Sessions will take place on the First and Third Tuesday. New dates to be confirmed soon!
If you wish to be added to the waiting list, please contact Kate Hasted: [email protected].
The group is free to attend and is a welcoming online space run by:
- Pauline Gilman, Ambassador of the Brain & Spine and author of ‘The Tapestry of My Life’, who also runs a virtual book club within her community, where participants read aloud together. Once they have completed a book, they have the opportunity to interview the author. Additionally, Pauline is a member of the COCY (Leeds) poetry group.
- Carolyn Turner, winner of the Black and Asian Women’s Award 2021 and Brain & Spine Foundation Ambassador & Trustee. Carolyn is also a member of the Leicester Poetry Society, represents PinggK!

This group is also overseen by a Brain & Spine Foundation staff member.
