The Randell Cottage Writers Trust

Purpose: The purpose or mission of the Trust is to offer fellowships and residency for one NZ and one French writer for six months each year in the historic Randell Cottage in Thorndon, Wellington. To support the writers and maintain the Randell Cottage as a fully-furnished, secure heritage building and garden. To manage sponsors' funding (notably from Creative NZ, the Arts Foundation of NZ and the Wellington City Council) in an efficient and accountable manner, ensuring all compliance requirements are met. To encourage creative interchange between the visiting writers and the public; to promote literary exchanges within New Zealand and with France; to contribute to Wellington's reputation as NZ's arts and cultural capital; to widen public appreciation of the works by the NZ and French writers; and to encourage synergies with other Wellington arts residencies and organisations, VUW, and the French Embassy.
