How to support us

Volunteer

​Our volunteers are passionate about women’s stories and histories, and enjoy sharing them by selling books in our bookshop, writing for our newsletter, assisting with our library and archive, and helping at our events and workshops. Let us know how you’d like to help—we’d love to hear from you!

Attend our events

Joining the conversation and sharing your voice is one of the best ways to support us. We offer PWYC and by-donation ticket pricing to most of our events because the most important thing to us is you.

Donate

We welcome your donations to The Hypatia Trust. As charity your contributions -- large or small – are what sustain us and ensure we can continue to carry on our work supporting and empowering women by hosting talks, workshops, residencies and more.

Stay With Us

Did you know that we have a beautifully appointed holiday let right in the heart of Penzance? Proceeds from your stay help support the work of the Hypatia Trust.

Visit our bookshops

Selling carefully curated selections of pre-loved books, artwork and books by local artists and authors, and works from our small press featuring academic, social history and reference books, our online and in-person bookshop feature women’s narratives and other lesser-heard voices in history.  Making a purchase from shop directly supports our work. We look forward to sharing our stories with you.

Follow us

Find us on Instagram and please like, share and comment on our posts. This ensures that more people hear about us and see our work.

Share your story

​If you have experienced something incredible at our events, found your next read at our bookshop or in our newsletter, followed us on Instagram, or immersed yourself in our library and archive, don’t keep it to yourself -- tell your friends!
