We empower people through pictures
Our word-free picture stories, Book Clubs, and work in schools change the lives of people with learning disabilities.
We co-create word-free picture stories for people with learning disabilities
Picture stories are accessible to everyone, whether or not you can read words. Every story we write is co-created with people with lived experience and trialled by people with learning disabilities.
““I think Book Clubs are brilliant. The books are good, the people are good and you make new friends as well! It makes me feel good to do Book Club.””
Our Book Club in a Box project is helping people to belong
Beyond Words Book Clubs give people with learning disabilities somewhere to make friends, have fun, and talk about the issues that affect their lives.
