Send us your stories to raise money for St. Mungo's homelessness charity

What we're looking for:

Flash fiction and creative non-fiction up to 1,000 words that explores what home means – the longing for it, the loss of it, the creation of it, the complicated feelings we carry about it. Home as a physical place, a state of mind, a person, a memory. Home as safety or trap. The homes we're born into and the ones we build for ourselves.

Submission Guidelines:

• Word count: Up to 1,000 words
• Theme: Home
• Submission fee: FREE for all submissions
• Deadline: 21st December 2025

All submissions are free because this is about raising money for St Mungo's. However, if you'd like to help cover the cost of the ISBNs we need to get this book listed with online retailers and real-life bookshops (£174 total), there's an optional donation when you submit. Any donations received will go towards these costs and if what we receive exceeds the amount needed, it will be donated to St Mungo's.

This will be the first of what we hope will become an annual tradition – one charity anthology each year, using the power of storytelling to support causes that matter.
