This Is My Story

This is My Story is a project that worked with 10 volunteer newcomers to Bury from overseas. Fair Futures facilitated the writing of their stories of how they came here and the sharing of them with a primary school class in Bury.

The project was planned and carried out by Fair Futures CIC from April 2024 to March 2025. It was funded through the Bury Culture fund, financed by the UK government Shared Prosperity Fund.
