Telldigitalstories.com offers a digital storytelling service to community groups and their service users. Our aim is to help individuals within community groups tell their personal stories, in order to illustrate how the work of the community group is directly affecting their lives. Being involved in the telling of their own story is an empowering way for service users to express themselves, and feel that their voice is being heard and their opinions acknowledged. Digital stories can also be a useful tool for reporting project outcomes, success stories and community challenges, whilst at the same time, harnessing the creativity of the project’s participants.

Completed digital stories can be utilised by community groups to showcase the work that they do, conveying the authentic voices of those involved more effectively than traditional reports. The digital stories can greatly enhance funding proposals, conveying to potential financiers how people’s lives are being improved through the work of the organisation. The digital stories can also transform an organisation’s website, adding a modern and innovative dimension to its online presence. They can also be strategically placed over the web, directing potential service users, researchers and funding bodies to the website.
