Local housebuilder shares a story with Houghton Regis school pupils

The session was delivered by Helen Tozer, a dedicated storyteller, who read an excerpt from The Borrowers. The children, with ages ranging from 5 to 9, were dressed as their favourite book characters and enjoyed an afternoon of interactive storytelling.

Marc Woolfe, Sales and Marketing Director at Barratt David Wilson North Thames, commented: ““As a housebuilder, we know that storytelling plays an important role in communities, as it helps us to connect with others and build lasting relationships. Sharing stories is a great way to bring people together and Helen’s interactive reading session is a fun way to engage with the younger generation and encourage their imagination.”

Storyteller, Helen Tozer added: “We all really enjoyed the session; it was fantastic to see the children getting so actively involved and gaining an understanding of the story themes. I have worked with Barratt David Wilson Homes in the past, and it is wonderful to see a housebuilder investing in educating the future generation on the impact of storytelling and how it brings everyone together.”
