    Stories

    At Barnwood Trust we love stories. Not only are they a great way to show the real-life impact of our work, but we believe they can help to inspire others to take positive action in their lives and in their communities.

    Each of our stories has been published with the expressed consent of the individuals involved and we take great care in the way we approach each story. Each story matters, and we hope that this story library can be a reference for others to make a positive difference in their community. We aspire to tell stories with accuracy, fairness, completeness, honesty, independence, impartiality, transparency, accountability, respect and excellence. If you have any questions or queries regarding our story bank or storytelling methods, please email info@barnwoodtrust.org
