Storytelling

What is storytelling?

Storytelling is an important tool in your arsenal - it’s a way of bringing to life the lived experience of volunteers, service users and communities and allowing their voices to be heard in things such as service design, delivery and evaluation.

The Vision for Volunteering uses a pioneering storytelling method called Community Reporting that uses digital tools to support people to tell their stories in their own way. We have trained over 100 professionals, volunteers and young people in the use of this method - and we want to pass that learning onto you too!

We’ve create a training resource to help you collect your own stories, curate learning and mobilise the stories to present to others. This resource will help you understand the people you work with, find out more about their experiences and demonstrate impact. Click the buttons below to find out more.
