Story Factory Seeking Donations From Our Community.....


"Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack. He was also one metre tall. His eyes were brown like chocolate and his hair was black like night." From an early 2013 story by our long-term student, Phoebe.
                      
Hi All

Over the last 12 months we’ve taken a staggering 3,205 student enrolments - that’s nearly 30% more marginalised young people than this time last year, all of whom have written up a storm in our fun, free creative writing workshops.

We know our programs make a difference: teachers, parents and caregivers tell us time and again that they've seen their kids blossom. They say:
  • “She's a changed girl, in a very positive way.” - Ann, mother of Sophie
  • “The students were engaged and inspired from the moment they arrived at Sydney Story Factory… This workshop will have a direct benefit on the students’ future class activities. They responded to the program with enthusiasm and wonder.” - Carrita Nardi, Teacher, Bankstown Girls High
  • “[Briana] is no longer depressed and displays happy outlook on her face all the time. She also feels very confident and her self-esteem improved dramatically. There is no word can express my gratitude.” - Carina, mother of Briana
Because of the generosity of wonderful supporters like you, we are able to transform thousands of young lives every year. In May 2018, we plan to expand by opening Sydney Story Factory Parramatta to reach even more young people across Greater Western Sydney.

You can help us keep lighting the spark of creativity to open up the future for marginalised young people. Every gift over $2 is tax-deductible. And every gift counts.
  • $30 could ensure one more child can attend a one-hour after school workshop.
  • $50 could mean a child attends one of our signature two-hour bookmaking workshops.
  • $100 could see three teenagers find their voice in an inspirational poetry workshop.
