Ministry of Stories
Ministry of Stories is a charity in East London which champions the writer in every child. Co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010, they help young people discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of writing. The charity lives behind the secret door of its own fantastical shop, Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, which proves just how seriously they take the imagination!
Each week the charity provides free after-school and Saturday programmes for children age 8+ who live and go to school in their immediate community. Guided by their team of professional writers and volunteer mentors, young people explore all forms of writing.
With the support of the Lightbulb Trust, their community writing labs will create and publish their own Zines, develop their own Escape Room and launch it to the public, and laugh their way through the Autumn as part of a comedy writing term, while developing key skills that will support them for life. Together, we will help up to 110 young people to write a brighter future for themselves.
