Hot Poets is an arts and environment company bringing poetry and science together to tell stories that matter and inspire climate action that works. We create arts and science collaborations and partnerships with artists, climate change organisations, institutions, and places of education. We design and deliver education and participation programmes. In the year 2023-2024 we were funded largely by Arts Council England and The Gaia Foundation. We produced an online creative public participation programme, resulting in four new films, promoted online. We also commissioned four artists to work with several international organisations to create films about climate and environment friendly practices. We also worked in partnership with ten regenerative farmers around the UK, commissioning ten poets to create work about farmers. We contributed to performances and workshops in arts and community spaces. We also undertook some paid commissions and facilitation processes with charities and private companies. The work benefits a lot of communities. 10 x communities around each farm in Devon, Somerset, Birmingham, London, Cumbria, Wales, Edinburgh, N.Ireland, Northumberland and Shropshire. Communities came together to learn about the farmers and their methods. The activities generated awareness of the work they are doing and in some cases generated more business - for example a farm in Somerset with a bakers attached, were able to open their doors to more customers. A small community farm in Tottenham were able to use our film to help raise awareness of their project, bringing in more support. We also worked with the international environmental community, working hard to establish more sustainable practises in business, architecture, science, and regenerative practices. We support the work being done, champion individuals and groups within organisations and their wider communities, so their work can flourish and grow.
The company’s stakeholders could be described as the partner organisations that we work with. These change on a yearly basis. We engage regularly with all people and organisations that we work with, asking for feedback and evaluation about the processes that we engage in with them. We take notice of positive and negative feedback and shape new programmes in accordance with this. We aim to shape programmes in responses to interest and demand from stakeholders. Our directors consult regular with our board of non-executive directors to assess operations and receive guidance and input on how to grow the organisation sustainably.
The two directors received a total of £70,370 remuneration between them.
