The Jawbone Collective
The Jawbone Collective's commitment to inclusivity goes beyond
mere words it's woven into the fabric of everything we do.
Being a Neurodivergent, Disabled Person from Working Class roots and a proud parent of two non-binary adults, I know all to well the limitations and discrimination people in marginalised communities need to overcome to be accepted and have their voices heard and celebrated.

The Jawbone Journey
Cultivating an Inclusive Creative Community
The Collective was founded on the intentions of two poets, Tom Rogers and Peter Roe. They had a wish to share the skills they have learnt on their poetry journeys by offering their support to other emerging writers. Both Peter and Tom believed that it was vital to cultivate an inclusive creative community to to celebrate diverse, unheard voices.
