Young authors at Broughton High School excited about their new publication

SPA In The Community

From our writing workshops in schools and community organisations to our membership and participation in organisations like the Literature Alliance Scotland, North Edinburgh Community Festival and Borders Book Festival where we work to amplify youth writing and voice, the SPA strives to be a vital member of the communities we serve.

School Partners

In 2017, we began work with Leith Academy. Since then we have been able to expand our reach from one school to 39 and the list continues to grow. We also partner with non-profit organisations to create customised workshops. Our current school partners include:
