We believe the best social impact stories those that balance the head, heart and hands. This approach explores the rational, emotive and tangible aspects of your story in order to shift mindsets, pull heart strings and spark action.
Use our ‘Head’, ‘Heart’ and ‘Hands’ worksheet to canvas these aspects of your story, and ensure that you draw from a balance of all three when refining your story further!
