The Iris Project is a charity run by a team of committed volunteers, and and as such, its various initiatives and projects need support to be both effective and sustainable. We are always very grateful for the people who have already volunteered their time and skills. If you want to be a part of the Outreach Network visiting schools and communities please contact us for more information.

We are currently running several successful and popular projects in schools, including Latin in London state schools through literacy and as after school clubs, ancient theatre workshops and courses, as well as free or heavily subsidised sessions on Latin, ancient theatre and ancient culture in inner city communities. We are also distributing Iris magazine free to state schools across the UK.
