Poem Credits

Several people have asked how they can buy the book, Written Portraits. As the Wellcome Trust has supported our work, we are providing links for donations to Maggie’s Cancer Centres, and to the Imperial Health Charity, if you would like to make a contribution.

The images in Written Portraits are subject to copyright and we should like to thank the individuals and organisations listed below for permission to use these images. We should also like to thank the actors who recorded the poems under the challenging conditions of the first lockdown of 2020.
