Ahead of National Poetry Day, I dropped into #poetrytogether event in Parliament to hear from Gyles Brandreth and Roger McGough and learn more about the initiative.
Poetry Together brings schoolchildren and older people together to learn, recite and enjoy poetry, helping build confidence, encourage conversation and create connections between generations.
It is a simple idea, but a powerful one, and I was pleased to hear more about how schools, care homes and community organisations can get involved
