We are grateful to Arts Council England for their support. We would also like to thank Sterios Plasatis, David Hill and A.M. Dassu for their very generous donations, and every single person who donated in our crowdfunding fundraising campaign. The money raised from this crowdfunding campaign will be used as a match- funding, and more importantly, if our bid is unsuccessful, we will use these funds to continue publishing for at least one more year. The funds will go towards printing and paying our contributors. Your support is crucial so that the other side of hope can keep producing beautiful publications in print and online. You can find our funding campaign on our website.

          We thank ArtReach, the arts charity and producers of the refugee festival Journeys Festival International, Writing East Midlands, Centre for the Advancement of Racial Equality (CARE) at Northampton University, John Vincent at The Network, Brighton & Hove Public Libraries, the National Library of Scotland, the School of Sociology & Social Policy at the University of Leeds, London Migration Film Festival, Paul Dudman at the Living Refugee Archive in the University of East London, IMIX, City of Sanctuary UK, Counterpoints Arts, Good Chance, Jeanette Baxter at A Day of Welcome, Sarah Green, Olfa Atig Ben Salah, Gabriele Lazzari in the School of Arts, Humanities & Creative Industries at the University of Surrey, A.M. Heath Literary Agents, Janneke Adema in the Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University, and the Centre for New Writing and Leicester Literary Festival at the University of Leicester.
          Many thanks go to everyone who submitted their work to us, whether they were selected for publication or not, our 'other tongue, mother tongue' reviewers who currently cover 70 languages, our readers, and everyone who believes in this project.
