Free Word was an international centre for literature, literacy and free expression based at 60 Farringdon Road, Clerkenwell, London. It developed local, national and international collaborations that explored the transformative power of words. Free Word was a charity. It relied on the generosity of supporters and its core funders Arts Council England and Fritt Ord, as well as income from hiring out its space. Following the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2021, Fritt Ord confirmed its intention to sell the Farringdon building. The building was closed and its resident organisations vacated by May 2021. Following the loss of its venue, the organisation announced its closure on 27 May 2021.
