About Settle Stories
Settle Stories is an independent arts charity rooted in one of the most rural parts of the UK. We believe that storytelling has the power to foster understanding, break down barriers, and transform lives.
We collaborate with exceptional artists to create socially relevant, narrative-centred art using a wide range of media. Through both in-person and digital experiences, we engage with people in our rural community and beyond, ensuring that cultural activity and creative expression reach those who need it most.
By empowering educators and young people with storytelling skills, we promote a dynamic, creative approach to learning—enabling individuals to share their stories, deepen their self-understanding, and explore their relationship with the world.
At a time when intolerance and division are fuelled by fear and ignorance, we champion the power of storytelling to build empathy, connection, and a more inclusive society.
