Magic Torch Comics work with schools and community groups to tell stories using comics. We can help you tell your story too. Our projects in the last year have included a collection of Gaelic language folktales, a National Lottery Community Fund project working with marginalised young people to create comics sharing their lived experience, and a book of Syrian, Sudanese and Scottish folk tales created with New Scots families. We have also worked to create information comics for the Scottish Parliament, Health and Social Care Partnerships and the Poverty Truth Commission. We have been named one of The Big Issue magazines Top 100 Changemakers of 2020 for our literacies work.
