Stories

People are the reason the work matters.

REFI stories will document the people, places and moments behind the Foundation's programmes, with context and consent at the centre.

01

Education stories

We will highlight learning, confidence and opportunity as they develop over time — not simply capture a single moment for a campaign.

02

Community stories

People and local context come first. Stories should help audiences understand the work without reducing communities to hardship narratives.

03

Youth & sport

Participation, discipline, teamwork and belonging can be powerful stories of development when the young people involved are represented with care.

04

Consent & accuracy

Published stories will be developed with permission, appropriate safeguarding and a commitment to representing people and places truthfully.

Built around people

The story behind the support matters.

As REFI's work develops, this section will move from editorial foundation to a living archive of programme stories, community voices, milestones and lessons.
