Fundraising Group Aims
To publish yearly a small book, the contents being a mixture of poems and short stories written by previous and new writers.
To strive to continually improve the quality of the book, both in content, appearance and style.
From time to time, to run competitions that invite entries from anyone - with the winners and best entries published in Rhyme & Reason, which in itself improves and varies the content of the book.
To sell as many books as possible, passing the revenue less costs, to the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.
