About the Story Access Fund

As a small charity, we’re committed to making sure every child has access to rich story experiences. Through the Story Access Fund, we’re currently able to offer subsidised access for one year to the following programmes:
- Story Steps
- Listening Tales from the Story Basket
- Poetry Basket 1: Seasons (priority settings with high numbers of children with SEND)
- Poetry Basket 2: Themes (priority settings with high numbers of children with SEND
- Helicopter Stories On Demand
The Story Access Fund is there to support schools, early years settings, and childminders working with children who might otherwise miss out. It’s not just limited to one year either. If needed, you're welcome to reapply when your subscription is coming to an end.

Please fill in the form as fully as possible. We review each application individually and aim to respond within two weeks.
