  1. What we do

What we do

Our vision is a world where every story matters.

This drives everything that we do.

Individuals and communities 

We work with individuals and communities continuously developing and revising creative, language-based storytelling programmes that:

  • establish best practice
  • build on evidence-based research
  • are person-centred and inclusive

Artistic programme

Our annual artistic programme is divided into three distinct areas:

  • Reading Rooms
  • Seldom heard voices (experts by experience)
  • Publishing & events

Across our programmes and projects, we work in partnership with organisations, statutory agencies, schools, charities, and funders to bring the potential of storytelling in all its forms to life in our communities. 

Our Stakeholder Digest

Each quarter we publish our Stakeholder Digest to keep you up-dated on the very latest of what is happening at Verbal. Inside each edition you can find out our projects and how we are working with communities to promote the power of the written and spoken word. As well as a run-down on our latest events and opportunities.
