Stories worth
telling, collected the right way.
Good storytelling starts before you write a word: it starts with how you ask someone if you can share their story. We coach your team to build a story bank that is ethical, consistent, and ready when you need it.
Stop scrambling for a quote every deadline
We help you set up a simple system for collecting, storing and reusing stories with proper consent on file, so nobody is chasing a story the week the annual report is due.
Six practical modules
Finding the story
How to spot the stories already inside your programmes, and which ones are worth telling publicly.
Asking for consent
Clear, plain-language consent that gives people real control over how their story is used, and for how long.
The interview
Practical interviewing skills for staff who are not journalists: questions, listening, and knowing when to stop.
Writing it up
Turning a conversation into a paragraph, a post, a case study or an appeal without exaggeration.
Building the story bank
A simple system for storing stories, photos, quotes and consent so nobody scrambles at deadline.
Hard stories, told well
Telling difficult stories honestly without using someone's pain as a prop.
Pick the depth that fits your team
Team training
A half-day or full-day workshop for programme and communications staff, run in person or online.
Coaching series
Six sessions across three months with one staff member or a small group, working on your real stories.
Embedded set-up
We build the story bank, templates and consent forms with you, then train the team to run it.
Consent and dignity, every time
We train staff on how to ask for consent clearly, how to give people control over how their story is used, and how to tell a hard story honestly.
