The WILDE Foundation is a women and girls charity, (1197361) that uses creative tools in creating influencers out of victims and survivors of domestic abuse and harmful cultural practices. The Writers' Festival fosters opportunities for women who want to write and speak, encouragement for girls who want to acquire journalistic skills, and for volunteers who want to build their skills in a creative environment. This project, WILDE H&F Writers' Festival is the centerpiece of our organisation, from which all creative and empowerment projects for women and girls spring. Leading up to the festival we host a short story/poetry competition, which initially we invite schools, colleges, and universities in our local boroughs to take part in, then we role it out London wide, then nationally.
