A New Chapter for Bag Books 💜🧡💛
Since 1993, Bag Books has been creating multi-sensory stories for people with severe and complex learning disabilities, bringing connection, creativity and joy to thousands of children and adults across the UK.
Today, we’re excited to share the start of something new.
We’ve launched a refreshed Bag Books brand and a completely rebuilt website: www.bagbooks.org
Our new look reflects how Bag Books has grown over the past 30 years. Alongside our handcrafted sensory books, we also deliver storytelling sessions, projects supporting special schools and libraries, training, printed resources and a growing range of digital resources for families, schools and care settings.
You’ll notice:
✨ A bold new logo and colour palette
✨ Our new strapline: Connect. Include. Inspire.
✨ A brand new free Resource Hub with downloadable DIY sensory stories
✨ The beginning of a growing collection of storytelling content and resources
And there’s much more still to come!
Over the coming months we’ll be adding:
📚 New multi-sensory stories to purchase
🎥 Demonstration videos and filmed story guides
🛠️ Craft and prop-making ideas
📍 A UK library finder showing where Bag Books can be borrowed
What hasn’t changed is at the heart of everything we do: creating meaningful, inclusive storytelling experiences for people who are too often left out of the story.
As our CEO Lucy Barrett says:
“Bag Books has always been about more than books. It has been about connection, creativity and making sure that people with complex learning disabilities have the same access to the magic of stories as everyone else.”
We’d love you to explore the new website and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about new stories, resources, videos and updates as they launch.
Thank you for being part of our story 💜
