First Story seeks to address the educational disadvantage faced by children in challenging social and economic circumstances. We strive to raise achievement, self-confidence and aspiration through creative instruction. We arrange and pay for acclaimed authors to run weekly creative-writing workshops for groups of students attending challenging secondary schools across the country. At the end of each project, we publish professional anthologies of the students' work and organise book launch events where pupils read their work aloud to friends, families and teachers. We aspire to develop First Story hubs in strategic locations across the country, which will ensure that every secondary school student has access to the creative provision to which we believe he/she is entitled. Please help us achieve this.
