Yorkshire charity changing lives one story at a time.
关于我们
When you walk in through the doors of Grimm & co, you will see a magical apothecary, open since 1148 (just before lunchtime), and serving all sorts of magical beings (wizards, giants, fairies, trolls...). We sell everything that magical beings may need - giant belly button cleaners (for clearing out stray chickens), ready-blended potions for the busy witch/wizard (a wide range, including Grandma's Scabs, Middle-Aged Vitriol or A Pinch of Happiness), human disguises, invisibility, and much much more. We became visible to humans in 2016. We are still getting used to our human customers and their little foibles. Mortals tend to find different uses for our products, for example, using our ready blended potions as bath salts?! Odd. However, there is a little more to this apothecary than meets the eye. Grimm & Co is a Yorkshire literacy charity with a mission to change lives, one story at a time. We provide exciting writing workshops to children and young people, aged 7-18, unleashing imaginations through the joyful discovery of stories. The workshops cover lots of different types of writing, from comedy writing and stories, to poems, plays and monologues. These workshops are all free to the child, and encourage their self-esteem, resilience and self-belief, raising literacy levels and building confidence. We aim to build the capacity of children and young people, helping them to discover and unleash their hidden talents, building confidence and self-esteem and recognising their individual skills and potential. Children and families can also take a book from our Forgotten Library or write a letter to a fairytale character (replies delivered by owl in 7-10 days), as well as taking part in various other spellbinding activities in the holidays. We have many volunteer roles at our centre, and offer full training and support for these roles - including administration, media, retail, caretaking, and more.

Last month,?Bank End Primary Academy visited Grimm & Co for a fabulous story-making workshop. The story they created ("The Day Christiano Ronaldo came to Earth") featured a random human person called Person (he/him) - part human and part dinosaur - who hates mushrooms and is really good at basketball. It also featured Emily (he/him),?an evil,?scaly unicorn who is 1622 years old. This workshop was made possible thanks to unLTD Business,?who very kindly sponsored the transport to Grimm & Co. This is a cost that is rising,?making it difficult for some schools to make the trip to us,?so we are so very grateful to UnLTD for helping out. If this is something you'd like to help out with,?we'd love to hear from you! Give us a call on 01709 829750 or visit our website to donate. https://lnkd.in/eUa7Qbtd PS - The book is on display in the Feastery if you'd like to come along and read it!

Managing Director at Meze Publishing and Blind Mice Media. Independent Publishing Guild and Grimm and Co trustee.
Pretty magical morning volunteering for a story writing workshop with the incredible team at Grimm & Co. - an amazing children’s literacy charity in Rotherham. It really is like a mini Harry Potter World and the impact it has on kids, letting their imaginations run wild, is mesmerising to see. Big thanks to Zora and the team for making me feel welcome and Deborah Bullivant MBE DL EdD for inviting me onto the board. If anyone on here has young kids, just go! And if anyone here is looking for a worthwhile charity partner, and cares about our kids using their imaginations - then I urge you to reach out to support them. Honestly, you will love it. unLTD Business Independent Publishers Guild Meze Publishing Limited

We cannot put into words how incredible it has been to work with Lumsden. The care and detail they have put into the design and creation of the Emporium of Stories has been wonderful and we are so grateful to the whole team.
Grimm & Co, the Rotherham-based children’s literacy charity, has opened their new home; the magical Emporium of Stories, following a 2.5-year transformation of a beautiful gothic-towered building. The charity partnered with the award-winning design team, Lumsden, known for creating iconic spaces for international brands, museums and cultural attractions, to lead the design, masterplan and fit out of their permanent Yorkshire home. This whimsical building, a blend of retail, educational, and culinary delights, promises to amaze and inspire visitors of all ages. https://lnkd.in/dkUrdjcH
