First Story is a charity that changes young people’s lives through writing. First Story will be broadcasting its first appeal on BBC Radio 4 hosted by Robert Webb, on Sunday December 17th at 07.54 and again at 21.26. You can find Radio 4 at FM 92 – 95, FM 103 – 105, LW 198 and on iPlayer for the week following the broadcast.
Serving low-income communities
First Story pairs award-winning writers with secondary schools serving low-income communities to foster students’ creativity and communication skills. By helping them find their voices, First Story raises aspirations and gives students the skills and confidence to achieve their goals.
Helping young people
Since 2008 First Story has helped many young people to tell their stories, and the majority are now more confident, write and read more, and are more engaged in their school communities. Their work has been published in over 250 First Story anthologies.
