Sponsorship
Over the last 4 years SFL has been blessed with support from a wide ranging number of local businesses and will always be grateful for that.
This year, when so many businesses have struggled, SFL 2020 felt it could not, in all conscience, seek financial support as it had previously.
However, the Committee would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all those organisations and people who had faith that we would be able to bring the idea of a Shrewsbury Fesitival of Literature to fruition and who have continued to support us since 2016 when it all began. We simply would not be here without you.
There is a list of all the organisations that made SFL 2019 a reality below. Some have been with us from the beginning. They all deserve continued recognition.
Planning for SFL 2021 will begin early next year and - honestly - none of us know what things will be like then...
If you would like to offer support (which can be in financial or practical terms) please do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to promote any business or individual that wants to help us bring the Shrewsbury Festival of Literature to life each year!
Thank-you.

The Centre for Integral Health was started in 2013 and the aim is to provide an open platform for the non-conventional complementary aspects along side some more well recognised approaches such as physiotherapy and counselling. This platform can then be connected to GPs, consultants and other medical support staff to give them a professional centre through which they can confidently refer and recommend their patients for whom the conventional medicine approach is not appropriate. In a truly integral manner, we will also recognise the valuable role that conventional medicine has in health care and communicate with and refer back to the medical staff where its considered their approach is the most valuable.
