Stay in touch

With the launch of our new Friends’ and Patrons’ schemes, it has never been easier to support our work and keep up-to-date with our activities. However, there are also plenty of other ways to get the Foundation on your telescreen.

For instance, you can sign-up to our regular newsletter for the latest news about all our prizes and events. Our Substack magazine will also send you regular insights and interviews from our network of writers and journalists, while by subscribing to our serial Orwell Daily you’ll receive curated extracts from Orwell’s work direct to your inbox.

We are also in all the usual places:
