About our collective
More Than Stories Collective
We’re a strategy and communications collective helping care-based businesses and community organisations grow in ways that reflect their values.
Culturally responsive & relational
We consider identity, lived experience, and barriers to access, building communications and connections grounded in the communities you serve.
From strategy to delivery
We bring together design, SEO, communications, and partnership outreach to help people understand your services and feel confident taking the next step.
Helping your work reach the people it’s here for.
Why We Are Here Practical support for the people making care possible.
Working alongside therapists, educators, and community teams, we saw how much effort it takes to help people find and access good services.
Information can be hard to navigate, outreach can fall between roles, and potential partners may never hear about the work.
We created MTS to bring those pieces together and give teams practical support for reaching the people they serve.
Why “More Than Stories” Stories carry meaning. What follows them matters too.
Stories can help people feel seen and make unfamiliar experiences easier to understand. People also deserve choice in how their experiences are shared.
Our name reflects what we want communication to make possible: useful information, meaningful connections, and a clear next step.
Choice
People decide what they share, how, and with whom.
Usefulness
Communication helps people understand their options.
Follow-through
Interest leads somewhere people can find support, participate, or connect.
What Guides Our Work Questions about representation, access, and real benefit.
We pay attention to who is represented, who faces barriers, and who gets to shape decisions. These questions help us turn our values into practice.
Whose perspective is missing?
Consider culture, language, identity, and lived experience.
What are we asking of people?
Look at the time, cost, effort, and personal disclosure involved in taking the next step.
How will we know this helps?
Use relevant results and community feedback to understand what needs improving.
Who We Work Best With Organisations ready to grow with purpose and participation.
We work with care-based businesses, nonprofits, and education or community organisations that take dignity, access, and inclusion seriously.
We particularly welcome organisations supporting queer and trans, Black and Brown, disabled, neurodivergent, and immigrant communities.
- You have a service or programme to strengthen, or a clear idea you want to develop.
- Your team has capacity to respond to new enquiries, participants, or partnerships.
- You can make time for shared decisions, feedback, and reviewing what works.
Working with More Than Stories
A Collective Approach to Growth
We work alongside care-based businesses and community organisations to help more people find, trust, and engage with their work.
Your communities, values, and capacity
Understand your context
Culture, lived experience, and barriers to access.
Build relationships
Community connections, referrals, and partnerships.
Put ideas into practice
Clear communications, design, websites, and outreach.
Care, Resources, and Sustainability
Care work exists within economic realities.
Organizations need funding.
Teams need support.
Staff deserve sustainable livelihoods.
Communities deserve organizations that will still be here five years from now.
We do not believe sustainability and values are opposites.
In fact, we believe sustainability is often what allows values to survive.
Our work helps organizations strengthen their operational, relational, and financial foundations so they can continue serving their communities for the long term.
Our Commitment
✿
Direct work with the founding team
We partner with a small number of organisations at a time so we can stay closely involved.
When you work with us, you can expect:
✿
Honest conversations about limits and tradeoffs
✿
Systems that reflect real capacity rather than ideal scenarios
✿
Communication grounded in consent and accuracy
✿
Decisions made with long-term care in mind
We are accountable not only to the organizations we support, but also to the communities those organizations exist to serve.
