Corporate giving

We work with partners to celebrate the extraordinary imaginations of children and young people.

 

How partnerships help

Amplifying young writers’ voices

As a charity, we rely on the support from businesses and individuals to give young people living in our community the opportunity to take part in projects they’ll remember forever.

A partnership with Ministry of Stories supports the creativity of young people in many ways.

Benefits of partnership for young writers:

  • Enables young people to create professional quality projects, connecting them more deeply with the writing process, improving their sense of self-worth. 
  • Amplifies the voices of young writers. Partnerships enable the work of young writers to reach wider audiences, inspire others to give creative writing a chance.
  • Increases public profile of creative writing as a tool for escapism, enjoyment and education.

How a partnership can support your business

Great employee engagement

Whether your team want to come in for a team-building product development session or adopt a local school to mentor in, Ministry of Stories will work with you to create bespoke volunteering packages.

Training in writing mentoring

Train at Ministry of Stories – learn mentoring skills and then put them into practice at one of our writing labs. Young writers need you!

Attention grabbing final project

Share something unique with your staff and stakeholders. Every Ministry of Stories project ends with a shareable outcome and we are delighted when partners celebrate their involvement by joining events or helping to share the young people’s talent with your audience.

The type of project you could fund!

Want to fund a big, bold and totally unique creative project? How about something as incredible as an Escape Room?

Our young writers created a mysterious character, a problem to solve, designed the world they inhabited and crafted the clues, puzzles and red herrings we used to build a playable escape room for local families to play for free all summer.
