About Us:

The whole team at I Am All Stories are people who are passionate about doing something meaningful. Before coming together at I Am All Stories, we have all been involved in voluntary work or have worked in charities for many years because our collective and individual passion is about supporting others, especially in areas of mental health and well-being. We are educators, facilitators, creatives, and we aspire to be changemakers. We have been supported by both The Arts Council England and The Big Lottery Community Fund, which has allowed us to work with some amazing people and organisations, and really focus on what matters – helping people tap into their own potential, resilience, and narrative. As an organisation, and as the individual people within that organisation, we are committed to making a ripple of positivity in the world, promoting well-being, and revealing to people the remarkable brilliance they embody.

 

A Look Back at Our Beginnings:

This project began during the pandemic, addressing the acute need for connection and uplift among those most battling isolation. We reached out to people and offered them an opportunity for creative expression, self-reflection, and connection.

 

Our Current Work:

Over the past four years, we've partnered with community groups and mental health charities, to provide workshops and prompts, supporting some of the most in need with creative and journalling projects. We're constantly offering participants opportunities to develop, heal, and grow.

 

Although at the core of our organisation is the work we do partnered with organisations across the country, another huge part of our work is to inspire as many people as possible to engage in journalling and creative activities for well-being. We are always aiming to reach everyone, to aid people's sense of their own narrative, and to improve the well-being of as many people as we can.
