What counts as
a true life story?
Any tale of a true life experience counts as a true life story. No matter how mundane or extraordinary your true life story or stories may seem, there will be someone out there who will benefit from it being told.
Why are stories anonymous?
Regardless of what your circumstances are, we provide a space for your voice to be heard and shared. Comments and identities are not included with stories, so that they are free from judgement. However, if you explicitly wish to include your identity you may do so.
True Life Story Workshops
Some of those with the most valuable stories have no means of telling them. By running a true life storytelling workshop you can help others to access the benefits of storytelling.
Whether it’s for members of our community in prisons, care homes, community centres, hostels, schools or somewhere else, holding a workshop can have a huge impact.
