We can help tell your story
We’re encouraging older people across the borough to share their life stories – at home, in the community and in libraries.
Our life story interviewers will be going out into the community and creating Life Story books with local people, which can be shared with family, friends and carers.
We’re also planning group sessions in the libraries and some of the stories will be shared with a wider audience through a temporary exhibition early next year.
Would you like to take part, or do you know someone who might be interested?
You can register your interest or refer someone to us using our Halton Life Stories_Referral Form 2024
For more information, please contact Life Stories Co-ordinator Ruth Darling via email ruth.darling@halton.gov.uk or phone 07717 245134.
