We record your life story
Let us record your life story, or the life story of a parent or a grandparent in the way that best suits you and your storyteller. Our expertise lies in our ability to capture life stories and to preserve them in life story books, life story films and audio recordings.
We know exactly which questions to ask, how and when. We know when to prompt and when to pause. Through our skills and experience we know how to encourage our storytellers to share their thoughts, feelings, reflections and even values alongside the memories and the stories.
Through the process of sharing life stories, our storytellers feel valued and honoured and comforted in the knowledge that their stories and legacy will be preserved. We work hard to create exceptional life story films, life story books, audio memories or our Desert island Discs style recordings for families to enjoy both now and into the future.
Contact us alice@thestorykeepers.co.uk to discuss your project. Whatever you chose, we will help you to tell your story in your words.
