Bag Books' multi-sensory story-packs help those with the most profound intellectual impairments to enjoy learning and self-expression.

You can think of story-packs as books which can be enjoyed without being understood.  They are told interactively, through actions and emotions rather than words and pictures, so they are perfect for anyone with a very low developmental age.

Story-packs are large, comprising a series of unusual objects and materials to experience, and are hand-made to maintain the highest standards of aesthetic quality and strength.  We know that, for the £230 it costs us to make a story-pack for a special school, 23 children are given a chance to learn and communicate, through the magic of stories.

Profound learning disabilities throw up incredible barriers for these very special children and adults: barriers which can never be entirely broken down, but which Bag Books helps them reach through, to touch the world beyond.

It is only though charitable support that Bag Books can only continue putting smiles on the faces of these very special children, young people and adults.

We aim to lift them out of their mundane routine of daily care, to experience new activities and exciting emotions – all through the magic of stories.
