Connecting Stories
Our new initiative with an exciting calendar of events, funded by Arts Council England to inspire children to tell their stories.
Bradford Stories
Since 2014, we have been supporting literacy in Bradford through unique, community-driven projects. We have worked with over 30,000 children, families and teachers, and have given out over 50,000 books to children – many of whom did not own a single book.
We’ve focused our work on encouraging writing through innovative poetry projects, improving school readiness by working with dads, and recruiting local community volunteers.
