As we mark 30 years of GWL we’re inviting people who have come into contact with GWL at any point in the past three decades to share the impact the organisation has had on them. It could be a book you borrowed, someone you met, an idea you came across, a feeling you had, something which inspired you, a decision you made, or new adventure you embarked upon. How has GWL transformed you, your community, your life?
We are collecting these stories as a way of capturing the myriad ways GWL has transformed the lives of visitors, volunteers, supporters, partners, and the wider community. Your contribution will be added to the archive and, with your permission, be shared on our social media, website and other media. Please let us know if you would rather your name was not used.
What to do next?
Step 1: Download and print* one of the cards below and decorate it with words, marks, drawing, collage or anything you like to tell your story. Be as creative as you like, whatever you do, we’ll love it!
Step 2: On the back of the card please:
- Tell us a bit about your creation by completing the sentence “This represents….”
