About the Organisation

By harnessing the art of storytelling to amplify the voices of those seldom listened to, we challenge the causes of inequality & improve emotional wellbeing.
Our vision is a world where every story matters.

Using our unique multi-disciplinary approach to the art of storytelling we work in partnership to enhance well being among individuals & communities.

We believe that everyone - regardless of ability, background, or circumstances - should have access to the resources and opportunities to tell their story.

Why? To make a better, fairer, and more equal society.

The capacity of communities to transform and make meaning of their environment and circumstances must not be limited to those with the available capital, resources, and networks.
