There was a real desire to find an innovative way of doing this and consequently A Word in Edgeways was engaged to use storytelling techniques to collect people’s reactions and evaluate the process of setting up of Wolverton Unlimited. We worked with members of the Wolverton Unlimited steering group and partner organisations to extract stories, metaphors and key learnings from the experience so far. This project was funded by The Countryside Agency The main story, about how Wolverton Unlimited came about,was told at various venues around the town, and published in book as 'Tales of a Town Rediscovered : A Story Of Wolverton' The storytelling process has allowed people to express themselves freely, created a shared language and proved to be a therapeutic experience for the people who have spent an enormous amount of their free time working for their community. As part of the evaluation process the storytelling approach has provided key lessons from the community perspective which complements both the consultants report as well as the Beacon Town book.
