KINGFISHER PROJECT CELEBRATES 5 YEARS
An evening of poetry and discussion with William Ayot and the Kingfisher Project team
7.00 – 8.30pm (BST), 30th September 2026 (online)
William Ayot (Juliet’s husband) was very involved with setting up the Kingfisher Project. He has asked us to pass on this message from the Kingfisher Project
For the past five years, Kingfisher Project has been supporting teenage boys through our rites of passage programmes. They would love you to join us to celebrate this milestone, reflect on our journey, and help support our future.
The evening will include:
-
A poetry reading from award-winning poet, ritualist and Kingfisher Project co-founder, William Ayot.
-
Reflections and conversation with members of Kingfisher Project’s Leadership Team.
-
An opportunity to ask questions about the project, hear more about our work, and explore the importance of rites of passage for young men today.
We warmly welcome all the Kingfisher Project community. This includes the young men who have done our rites of passage, men of trust, parents, carers and family members, past and present team members, friends, supporters, donors, and anyone interested in learning more about the project or taking part in future programmes.
Kingfisher Project is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation currently becoming a Community Interest Company (CIC). Each year we raise funds to deliver our rites of passage programmes and provide bursaries so that financial circumstances are not a barrier to participation.
We hope you will join us to celebrate what we have achieved together over the past five years, and to help us continue the important work.
This is a free event but donations will be gratefully received. Every contribution helps us offer life-changing rites-of-passage experiences for teenage boys and ensures that no family is excluded.
