Volunteering with the Society for Storytelling
We are seeking to expand our activity as a Society in the following directions.
Event Organising Team
The SfS runs two events currently - the Annual Gathering and National Storytelling Week - both organised and co-ordinated by volunteers. We are always open to offers of additional help with these and would like eventually to extend our roster of sponsored events. Do you have experience in event organising? Would you like to extend your experience? Would you like to take advantage of the opportunities of co-ordinating

Audio Publications Team
As part of our strategy to build audiences for storytelling, we aim to create digital recordings of storytellers. The Audio Productions Team will be responsible for sourcing material and organising production and distribution. The Society is a charity with the goal of supporting and promoting storytelling in Britain but it relies on the support of its membership. We aim to develop the advantages of membership and make membership more attractive to prospective and lapsed members.
Marketing Team
The SfS aims to serve as a central information hub and point of first contact for storytelling in Britain. The Marketing Team will publicise the Society’s work, creating and disseminating news stories to the media and designing and producing marketing materials to promote the Society and its activities.
Fundraising Team
The work of the Society is supported by membership contributions and donations. The Fundraising Team aims to supplement this core income by idenitifying fundraising needs and securing grants and funding. Podcast Team
The Podcast Team aims to complement the Society’s strong web and social media presence by producing a range of regular podcasts with topical content on the storytelling world. If you are interested in joining one of these teams, please get in touch by email to admin@sfs.org.uk.
