Belvoir Castle

Since November 2014, Tim has been the Poet-In-Residence at Belvoir Castle, as appointed by Emma Manners, Duchess of Rutland. He was offered the role on the 18,000-acre estate in rural Leicestershire after meeting the Duchess two years prior, when they had worked together on a community project.

The Duchess has since described Tim as Belvoir Castle's 'angel poet', and they have worked on a variety of eclectic projects ever since: poetry for the estate, lyrics, board games, seasonal adventure trails for children, festival appearances, Christmas meet & greets, the Belvoir Prize for Poetry (an annual award for University of Leicester students), the Leicester Literary Review, and much more.

The Brothellian Movement

Tim is a prominent figure in the Brothellian movement for the progression of the arts - an international collection of 'Decadent Romantic' artists who use the tactics of historical brothel owners to promote and sell creative talent.

They are best known for their culture of alluring and interactive events (Poetry Brothels, Carnivals of Artisans, The Study of the Decadent Romantics, etc.), in which they foster intimate, shared experiences between artists and audiences alike. Their ultimate aim is to 'ignite the fires of a new cultural renaissance.'

Everyone's welcome to join, as long as they display a commitment to the tenets of craftsmanship, talent and imagination. For more information, search for the Brothellian Manifesto (available to purchase online, or to stream for free on YouTube).

Leicester Assistance

Tim's proudest achievement was when he co-founded and ran a local, non-profit organisation which fed, clothed and gave free haircuts to 60+ homeless and/or struggling people every week for two years (2016 - 2018). This took place on the city streets and in a heated, indoor location (The City Retreat).

Mayoral Candidate

Tim represented the Leicester Green Party in the candidacy for Mayor of Leicester. They were unsuccessful in their attempt, but he received 8,637 of the votes cast (65% better than the previous Green candidate received in 2011), and they retained their deposit for the very first time.
