Our Mission
Settle Stories’ mission is to collaborate with exceptional artists to create transformative experiences for people and communities.
Stories
Stories are the most powerful way to engage, inspire and move people to action. We teach the art of storytelling so you can make a difference. We share stories from diverse cultures across the globe, explore traditional myths and folktales and reveal current stories of today. We present stories through the largest free storytelling festival globally, Yorkshire Festival of Story.
What We Do
Our live and online workshops, retreats and learning programmes connect people and are open to all. Through our Stories for Schools programme we work with thousands of school children annually. We work closely with our rural community by co-creating projects to gather people together, bring into focus hidden stories and enable the vulnerable and disinvested to have a voice.
We Are
We are an independent arts charity in one of the most rurally isolated parts of the UK. From our venue, The Joinery, we challenge perceptions of art produced in rural areas.
In 2021 we launched Storyversity. The world’s first online platform dedicated to storytelling. From April 2023 Settle Stories moves into a new era as one of Arts Council England’s new and first time National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs).
Join Us
We have a strong Board, and now want to recruit new Trustees to help us build on our successes, bring expertise to help us deal with new challenges. In particular we are keen to recruit new Trustees from arts practitioners, digital, digital commerce, and legal backgrounds.
