Supporting our work

The Iris Project is run entirely by volunteers at every level and without core funding. We rely on grants and donations from generous individuals and organisations to carry out our work. Our projects wouldn't exist without the people who support us through volunteering, donations and fundraising on our behalf. By supporting us you can make a huge difference to the schools and pupils we work with, allowing us to continue to improve the work we do with schools around the country.

Make a donation


Make a donation online now and help Iris's work in state schools and communities. Every penny will go towards improving and expanding our projects. Whether you want to help us bring our Literacy Through Latin project into more schools, support our Community Classics Centre or help us build on our Rumble Museum initiatives, your contribution can help us do exciting things!

Thank you!

About Us

Director of The Iris Project and Rumble Museum: Lorna Robinson

Lorna studied Classics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University; after a chance encounter with a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel in her finals year, she became curious about the similarities between it and Ovid, and eventually received a doctorate from University College London on 'Magical Realism in Ovid's Metamorphoses' in 2005.
