In 2023, UCAN developed a relationship with the amazing Children’s Laureate of Wales for 2023-25, poet and writer Alex Wharton.
The Children’s Laureate Wales is a national ambassadorial role, created by Literature Wales, which aims to inspire and empower children and young people across Wales through literature.
Alex met a range of our amazing young people, and inspired and facilitated them in writing their own poems through a series of fun and creative workshops over the last 2 years.
At UCAN we love sound and recording, so we thought it would be ideal to use this opportunity to create the very first Audiobook of Poetry for blind and vision impaired young people, while sprinkling in some of our trademark sound wizardry!
So here it is - we want everyone to hear and share this collection of funny, inspiring, moving and creative spoken word poetry.
We are forever grateful to Alex Wharton, Literature Wales and to our funders Children in Need for making this possible.
