Openstorytellers

What Openstorytellers does

Openstorytellers is a UK-registered non-profit organization that delivers arts-based day services, storytelling groups, and creative consultancy for people with learning disabilities. Its service model centers on in-person, facilitated creative and narrative interventions rather than on a technology platform, and it operates at a very small scale with a headcount of 1-10 employees. The organization targets a narrow, underserved beneficiary population - individuals with learning disabilities - and operates in the social-care and disability-advocacy sector rather than a commercial market.

Direct peers

• Frozen Light: UK theatre company creating multi-sensory work specifically for audiences and participants with learning disabilities. Directly comparable niche focus on learning-disabled participants and small-team arts delivery model.
• Apples and Snakes: England's leading spoken-word and storytelling development organisation running workshops, performances, and artist development. Comparable to Openstorytellers' storytelling-group activity and creative-consultancy work, especially where programmes serve specific community groups.
• Carousel: Brighton-based arts and disability charity supporting learning-disabled artists to develop creative practice and share their work. Directly comparable as a small UK non-profit combining creative-development programmes with advocacy for learning-disabled artists.
• Mind the Gap: UK-based learning-disability theatre company producing performance work led by artists with learning disabilities. Directly comparable to Openstorytellers as a small arts organisation whose primary beneficiaries and creative output are people with learning disabilities.
• Open Theatre: UK inclusive theatre company working with learning-disabled performers to create and tour original productions. Directly comparable as a small arts organisation using performance/storytelling to engage learning-disabled participants.

Broad incumbents

• MacIntyre: UK charity providing learning-disability support including day services, housing, and education. Comparable as a learning-disability day-services provider with overlapping service lines, though without Openstorytellers' storytelling specialism.
• Mencap: The UK's largest learning-disability charity, providing services, advocacy, and programmes nationally. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in the same beneficiary population, but operates a much broader portfolio of services beyond arts.
• Sense: UK disability charity supporting people with complex disabilities including learning disabilities, through services, arts programmes, and campaigns. Comparable beneficiary population and overlap with arts-based programming, but operates much more broadly.
• United Response: UK charity providing personalised support and services for people with learning disabilities and mental-health needs, including day opportunities. Comparable as a learning-disability service provider, but operating at significantly larger scale and broader scope than Openstorytellers.
• Hft: UK charity providing personalised support and day services for people with learning disabilities. Comparable as a provider of learning-disability day services (overlapping with Openstorytellers' day-services line), but at much larger scale and without a storytelling focus.
