Story
Matters is a not for profit, community interest company based in Lewisham. We
produce events, programmes and interventions that use story and storytelling in
creative ways that break down barriers to learning and help children to succeed
at school and in life. We also extend our work to teachers and parents, sharing
ideas and techniques that empower them to support their children’s learning in
new and innovative ways.

Our
current project the Lewisham Story
Festival
, will see us deliver our Year 3 Transition Programme in Lewisham
Primary Schools from the 14th -18th September and will
finish with our free Family Weekend on

storytellers etc. and take part in story workshops and activities in libraries
and community spaces across the borough.

We are looking for
