The profits of Persona Non Grata, are being split between 2 important charities. One is Crisis Aid UK, which is primarily a disaster relief charity, and aims to eliminate world poverty.
This definitely falls under the theme of 'social exclusion' - through no fault of their own, innocent people (such as those in Yemen, Rohingya, and Indonesia) find themselves without food, without family, and are left to fend for themselves. The above video explains how the profits will be used!
Next up is Shelter, a charity that works to alleviate the distress caused by homelessness and bad housing. They do this by giving advice, information and advocacy to people in housing need, and by campaigning for lasting political change to end the housing crisis for good.
The book will be split into the following sections:
1. To be without a home
2. Asylum Seekers
3. War/Collateral damage
4. Family/Grief/The People We Leave Behind
5. Invisibility
6. A matter of politics
7. British Humour or Optimism
You can pre order here - which helps a small press cover their print run and of course, goes to 2 amazing charities!
