On September 23rd 2024, we became SoapBox Spoken Word CIC (No.15971136) a legal non-profit company that uses spoken word as a tool to benefit people and communities. After many of years of hosting a wide variety of original live performance, we have decided to focus our efforts on our first love: words, stories and ideas – spoken aloud on a mic, in a room full of people.
We just celebrated our first year anniversary by making a collectable, limited edition, hand numbered zine. This will not be availble online or digitally. We will have copies for sale at Ipswich Book Festival (Sat 4th & 5th), in Ancient House, 10am till 3pm, at the local authors showcase event. We will only print 500 copies. and every purchase will go directly towards developing new community projects in accesible spaces.
Its been an incredible first year, with lots of learning, experimentation, and community outreach. No regrets.
Thanks for coming on this wordy nerdy journey with us. Here's to the second year!
Love & Boxes, Amy xx
