First Story

First Story is a literacy charity. It was founded in 2007 by Katie Waldegrave and the writer William Fiennes to improve literacy and foster creativity in young people through creative writing. The organisation works with state secondary schools serving low-income communities.

First Story supports and inspires creativity, literacy and confidence in UK secondary schools and their communities. They arrange and pay for acclaimed authors to run weekly creative-writing workshops for groups of up to twenty-one students attending ‘challenging’ secondary schools across the country. At the end of the year-long programme, First Story publishes a professional anthology of the students' work, and each school hosts a book launch event where the students read their work aloud to family, friends and teachers.
