The Community Story Hub CIC helps individuals, organisations and communities capture, preserve and share the voices, memories and stories that matter.
Mission Statement
The Community Story Hub CIC exists to capture, preserve and celebrate the stories, memories and histories of people and communities across the UK. Through storytelling programmes, heritage projects, digital archives, creative arts and community engagement, we help ensure valuable experiences and voices are not lost with time, but can continue to inspire future generations.
Our work combines:
heritage preservation
community storytelling
digital technology
creative engagement
intergenerational connection
wellbeing and social inclusion
Our long-term ambition is to help preserve over one million community memories for future generations.
Stories connect. Memories last. Communities thrive.
Start a conversation. Save a story. Preserve a legacy.
Through guided conversations, creative storytelling projects and our StoryHub platform, we help people record real voices, meaningful memories and lived experiences before they are lost.
Some stories belong to families.
Some stories belong to communities.
Some stories belong to places, clubs, schools, care settings and organisations.
All of them deserve to be heard.
A home for the stories that shape us
The Community Story Hub CIC exists to help people save the stories that often go unrecorded.
The voice of a grandparent.
The memories of a care home resident.
The history of a football club.
The first thoughts of a child leaving nursery.
The shared experiences of a town, street, school, community group or workplace.
Using our StoryHub platform and a simple guided storytelling approach, we make it easier to begin meaningful conversations, capture them safely, and turn them into something that can be kept, shared or used as part of a wider community project.
This is not about technology replacing people.
It is about giving people a simple way to listen properly, record carefully and preserve stories with dignity.
“This is one of those things everyone knows they should do — but never quite gets round to.”
“It makes you think about your own family straight away.”
“When someone goes, all those memories go too — unless you’ve captured them.”
“I’ve seen lots of apps. I haven’t seen anything quite like this.”
“It’s about conversation, not technology.”
“This feels human, not clinical.”
“Life story work is fundamental to good dementia care — this makes it achievable.”
“It captures people in their own words, at their own pace.”
“Even one-word answers still matter. You’re still building someone’s story.”
One organisation. One platform.
Many ways to save stories.
The Community Story Hub CIC works across three main areas:
Individuals & Families
For people who want to preserve a loved one’s voice, story, character and wisdom in a thoughtful and lasting way.
Organisations
For care homes, hospices, schools, nurseries, funeral directors, health settings and service-led organisations that want to capture the human stories behind what they do.
Communities
For councils, charities, sports clubs, heritage groups and local projects that want to preserve shared identity, social history and belonging.
At the centre of it all is StoryHub — our guided storytelling platform that helps people record, organise and preserve stories in one safe, simple place.
“We loved how straightforward it is. You pick a resident, press record and you’re away. The videos feel natural and genuine, not staged. That’s what families want – the real moments, not something polished.”
What We Do:
We create simple, thoughtful ways for people to capture stories. At its heart, The Community Story Hub CIC is about creating space for people to be heard. We do this through guided conversations, easy-to-use story prompts, creative projects and the StoryHub platform.
A story session might capture someone’s life memories.
A community project might gather voices from across a town.
A care setting might use StoryHub to record residents’ memories and share moments with families.
A sports club might preserve the stories of former players, volunteers and supporters.
A nursery might create a keepsake of children’s voices before they move on to school.
It does not have to be complicated.
The important thing is that the story is captured while it can be.
For Individuals & Families
EverKeep is for individuals and families who want to preserve personal stories, memories and voices in a private, meaningful way.
For Organisations
Stories That Live Here is for organisations that want to capture the people, purpose and human identity behind what they do.
For Communities
Through Community Conversations, Sporting Stories, Memory Makers, Small Stories & Memory Trails, we help communities capture the voices, experiences and memories.
OUR MISSION
Saving One Million Memories
We believe every voice matters - and every story deserves to be remembered.
Our national goal is to save 1,000,000 memories, ensuring moments, voices and histories are preserved for families, future generations and community heritage.
“There are plenty of reminiscence tools out there, but nothing that records and
saves memories like this. The combination of workshops, guided questions and quick
captures is exactly what’s been missing.”
Human-first, aLWAYS
The Community Story Hub CIC is not about replacing conversation with technology.
It is about making conversation easier to begin, safer to capture and simpler to preserve.
Our work is built around:
listening properly
reducing pressure
making it easy to start
respecting consent and dignity
helping people feel seen
preserving voices as well as words
creating useful outputs for families, organisations and communities
The platform supports the conversation.
The conversation supports the person.
The story supports the legacy.
Simple for staff and volunteers.
Comforting for the storyteller.
Reassuring for families.
Useful for care teams.
