Last year, we ran a brilliant project called the Anonymous Authors Club, which involved asking the community for story ideas, characters, locations and more so that our young people here at Springfield could use them as a starting point to create a collective story. Our young people then made a podcast showing the process of creating the story, and we ended up with something brilliant, creative and a little bit ridiculous.
This year, Anonymous Authors Club is back for a spooky special thanks to funding from Bradford Council's East Area Committee, and our young people have been hard at work creating characters that they will record short scary stories about.
But we need your help, Anonymous Authors Club works well when we have input from our community, so we need to borrow your creativity. If you would like to submit an idea, please use the link here: https://forms.gle/AiSPkqd3RKMZf9gH8
If you have young people at home who would like to get involved, we've included a printable character design sheet in this post, just print it out at home, snap a photo, and send it to us. We also have printed copies available at the Springfield Centre.
We ask that contributions are fictitious, and do not represent people or their homes. All contributions will be moderated by our Lead Youth Worker and will be expected to meet our community guidelines.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 26th October 2026.
