About this cause

Mythstories works with words and is a catalyst for creativity. We have a museum of storytelling artefacts which opens free of charge and a website used in schools throughout the world with free resources for teachers. We source funding to run outreach projects that create a sense of community, linking stories to landscape and people to people. Our story walks attract a wide age range of participants. Our longest-running outreach project is our storytelling club for teenagers, recently augmented by one for 8 - 12 year olds. Members learn to tell stories, acquire social skills and gain confidence. We have commissioned new art works for the museum and run programmes of storytelling performance. We work with other organisations, charities and Local Authorities.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The story sessions and craft activities will introduce new people to ideas for enjoying stories and playing games that they can replicate with friends and at home. It will bring families into the museum and introduce them to what we can offer. Overall the project will give people access to high quality and educational entertainment irrespective of their ability to pay.
