The English Project is capturing the imagination of English speakers right across the globe. It’s an idea whose time has come. But to turn that exciting idea into and even more thrilling reality needs money and time. That is why we are now asking for concrete support from those who want to see the English Project develop into a fully-fledged operation, based in Winchester but serving a global community. So, can YOU help?
The English Project is a charity and we need YOUR backing to make it happen. We need donations and volunteers to help us reach our goals over the next weeks, months and years. So if you are inspired by the vision of the English Project now is the time to become involved. HOW?
Make a Donation Today
We are a new start-up charity with very limited funds. We will use your gift wherever it will make the greatest difference or you can ask for it to be used to support a specific project. For example, £50 could help us research sources of funds, or contribute to the development of a new page on the website (for example a map of the places in England associated with major events in the development of the language). Or you could suggest a specific piece of research that interests you as a lover of the language. Give online now through the Charities Aid Foundation How we will keep in touch
We will update you on the impact your support is having, and keep you abreast of developments through our newsletter. Please give your email address on the gift form if you wish to receive this in electronic format, or let us know if you prefer not to be included on the mailing list. If you are able to give at least £100 you will receive an invitation to at least one of our public events every year. Become a Volunteer
We are actively encouraging people to become volunteers to help us with our work programme over the coming months. This might involve, for example: - Event planning
- Researching
- Compiling databases
- Simple bookkeeping and administration tasks
- Fundraising
- Blogging
For practical reasons you may need to be able to attend meetings in Winchester or London to get involved in most (blogging excepted) of these activities. So if you want to join us as a volunteer email me on

Offer ideas
There is no shortage of possibilities for how the English Project might develop. We have got plenty of good ideas ourselves but we know that there are plenty of other interesting possibilities out there (probably one for every English speaker!). So do write in with your suggestions. Keep them short and we will bank them all. Obviously we can’t guarantee to act on them (at least not immedialtely) but we will think about them. And amidst them there will certainly be a number which we feel we can take forward – maybe not now but in the years to come. So if you have an idea for a new English Project venture then please email
