One of the things that we love the most about our job is that we are able to hear our client’s stories. It’s a great privilege. We hear about their families, their jobs and their hopes and fears. We find out about family rifts and reconciliations and sometimes we know things their children don’t know (ssshh don’t tell them!). It's great fun, and is a great bonding experience.
Someone else we know who gets to hear people’s stores on a daily basis, is Alice, from the Story Keepers. I’m regularly suggesting to my clients to get their stories recorded so they aren’t lost, and Alice does this perfectly. You can get your story recorded just on audio, or on video, or have a book, or a combination. If you have lots of photos and visuals then a book or video works well. If you have music and visuals, then a film is a must. You can also get your own 'desert island discs' compilation put together.
Even better, something like this works really well as a Christmas (or birthday) present for a loved one. Check out Alice’s website to find out more and preserve your loved one's legacy for years to come https://www.thestorykeepers.co.uk/services
