  • First Story is an English non-profit organisation that encourages young people to write creatively, outside the curriculum, for self-expression, pleasure and agency. Its stated mission is to empower young people from low-income communities to find and develop their own unique voices and, in doing so, thrive in education and beyond. The charity works in state secondary schools serving low-income communities and its operating regions are Greater London, the East Midlands and the North of England. First Story's flagship Young Writers Programme places professional authors into schools, where they work intensively with a consistent cohort of young people, to develop confidence, creativity and writing ability. The programme culminates in the publication of an anthology of students' writing, edited by their Writer-in-Residence. First Story professionally produces over 60 new publications every year and each anthology has a unique cover design and ISBN. In addition to its core programme offer, the charity also runs creative writing competitions and events for programme participants. The charity's current Chief Executive is Antonia Byatt, a former head of English PEN and the Cheltenham Literature Festival. Its current Chair of Trustees is Ed Baden-Powell and Patron is Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall. In the 2018–19 academic year, First Story worked in 73 schools across England and 1,565 students (aged 11–16) completed its intensive Writer-in-Residence programme. (en)
