First Story is a charity, fundraising year-round to secure the support of trusts and foundations, companies, and generous individuals. We ask partner schools to contribute to the cost of our extra-curricular provision, but our life-changing programmes are majority funded by voluntary donations.

Giving in memory and legacies

Several of our supporters have made donations to honour the memory of a loved one. Often they choose First Story because the loved one highly valued education, or simply cherished creative writing. If you’d like to remember someone’s life with a gift to First Story, please do get in touch.

By leaving even a small amount to First Story in your will, you can give the gift of creative writing to future generations. If you are considering this form of giving, please don’t hesitate to contact us for practical advice or support. And please let us know if you have already remembered us in your will, so that we can say thank you in person.
