Writing is powerful.

It allows us to process thoughts and emotions, to capture memories and moments in time, and it can help us to reflect and learn. It can also support our wellbeing, and help us to manage periods of uncertainty.

That’s why we’ve set up engaging stories. This is a space for people to share their words – your prose, poetry, fiction; your reflections, your observations, your aspirations.

How it works is we invite contributions around a theme to share on this site. And, when we have enough contributions, we will turn these into books to raise money for charity. Like we did with….

The power of words was clearly demonstrated by our When The World Paused project which captured reflections on life during Covid-19. Over 100 people took part in 2020 and 2021, writing their thoughts, feelings, and ideas about living during a pandemic. The result was a blog: When the world paused – What a pandemic taught us about living (wordpress.com) and two books which were published to raise funds for NHS charities.
