In a world of diverse backgrounds and experiences, our branded book becomes a symbol of unity. By sharing personal stories, you’re fostering a sense of belonging that transcends spaces and identities. This isn’t just a book; it’s a testament to the rich tapestry that makes your community a place of belonging for every individual.
Imagine a book that not only captures the essence of your community but intertwines with narratives from multiple perspectives. Our project extends an invitation to collaboration, creating a masterpiece that showcases the collective strength and togetherness of diverse organisations and communities.
Provide your community with a platform to share their inspirational tales. Empower them to become authors of their narratives, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment. This isn’t just a book; it’s an affirmation of the incredible stories that shape your community ecosystem.
Collaborate with multiple organisations or schools simultaneously and create a single, powerful volume of stories that echoes the themes and togetherness you share. It’s a collective masterpiece that transcends boundaries and celebrates the beauty of diversity.
Our process is bespoke, ensuring that your book reflects the unique identity of your community.
and empowerment of your people. We capture stories that break prejudices of any kind. Everyone alike can find role models within the pages, fostering a culture of leadership and empowerment.
We don't just turn up and interview individuals. We take each person through one of our storytelling masterclasses, supporting each person to uncover hidden gems from their story that they may have forgotten.
The price is according to your needs, the amount of stories you would like to us share and how you want the end product to feel. We have a range of options to suit you and you can also plan to sell your book to help cover the costs or raise funds for charity at the end.
From young people to adults, we believe everyone has a powerful story to share. We can adapt our programme to fit schools and communities of any size.
Our project has the potential to evolve into a documentary series, capturing the essence of each story in a visual narrative. Imagine the power of showcasing your community's journey and the inspiring tales within, reaching a broader audience and leaving a lasting legacy.
Imagine a grand book launch, where the narratives come to life on stage, creating an unforgettable event for students, staff, and the entire community. An immersive experience that resonates beyond the pages.
By sharing personal stories, the book fosters a sense of belonging that transcends spaces and identities, symbolizing unity and showcasing the true impact of your people and the roles they play within the community.
“It was an opportunity for people to listen to me, that doesn’t happen much. I want more people to hear my story. We might not think our stories are inspiring, but some people might be inspired by them.” Student at Ladybridge High School
“I found the workshops really empowering and thought-provoking for the pupils. Krish and Madiha quickly built great relationships with the pupils, putting them at ease, making them laugh and take part in nuanced discussions. I could also see how positive and energised pupils were after the 121 interviews. Krish and Madiha were sensitive to the traumas some pupils carry, as well as their English language needs. The project so far has been so important as part of our effort to ensure international new arrival pupils feel they belong and are heard in our school community. It was such a pleasure having Krish and Madiha in the school!”

We will discuss your needs over email first.
You will decide on the reasons you’re interested in the project and what you would like to get from it, the amount of individuals you would like to have involved and preferred dates.
With that we’ll prepare a proposal, including a timeline and send it to you on a deck in a PDF file, along with a quote for the work.
From here, we can arrange a short call to solve any final questions.
You get approval for the work.
We start the project.
All of our projects are delivered by Krish and the team of champions who have shared their story with Tales to Inspire.
We will select our team based on the needs of your community and whose lived experience best fits the themes you want to explore.
Once our proposal has been accepted and payment received we get to work!
Initially we will deliver our bespoke half day storytelling masterclass to your community (groups of 5 people at a time) for them to truly understand the project and uncover their own story, including the parts they may have forgotten or thought were not important.
Once all the masterclasses are completing, we get to interviewing each of the participants, capturing their stories in an in person interview and then taking that to our in house writing team.
Once our writing team has worked their magic, we will provide your community with our first draft, so that the participants can either take out anything they feel they no longer want to share or add in anything that they felt they missed.
Depending on which package your community has purchased, you will then go and source your own book publishers or we have the books published directly for you with our trusted suppliers.
Yes, all of them, and we will provide DBS certificates to your community prior to delivery.
Tales to Inspire is a social enterprise/community interest company. This means that we are a not-for profit organisation with all profits going back in to our social mission.
From the first storytelling masterclass to the final product, we usually say this can be done within 4 months. This is dependent on availability of the community and participants for interviews.
We are based in Greater Manchester. However, our facilitators are based around the country which means that we can provide bespoke workshops for you in a variety of locations.
The This is Us project starts at £6,800 capturing the stories of 30 people within your community.
The true worth, however, extends far beyond the price tag.
Consider it an investment in potential. The stories unveiled can ensure your community’s legacy reaches wider audiences. This potential for lasting impact makes every pound worthwhile.
You can also choose to sell copies of your books to help to cover some of the costs or raise funds for charity.
