Welcome to Life Story Hive
We help people to capture their life story and share it with family, friends and carers.
Life story work gives people the space and time to tell their own story in their own way. We create life story books that combine memories, photographs and documents, forming a lasting record of a person’s life.
Whether you want to record your own story or know someone who would enjoy the opportunity to reminisce about their life, we can help.

Why Life Stories?
There are many benefits to creating a life story book:
- Celebrate a life – highlight the importance of the life of a loved one
- Pass on memories – it’s a chance to share your story with family of all ages
- Record family history – an opportunity to document your life and experiences for future generations, bring all those photographs and documents together in one place!
- Support care – help carers understand your life and experiences so they can support you now and into the future
- Capture fading memories – support someone with a dementia diagnosis
- Improve well being – for many the conversations and reminiscing are of greater importance than the final book, having the opportunity to share our stories builds wellbeing and self esteem
