The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares is a Bridport-based charity that runs free, child-led creative writing workshops for young people from all backgrounds, encouraging them to use their creativity in a safe space, explore different worlds, and express themselves without fear of being judged.   Each child creates a story that gets released into the real world, as a published book, anthology of poems, podcast, or even a play. They want children to see that their writing will be taken seriously, show them the possibilities of what can be achieved, and make those achievements a reality. In the last year, children have become published authors, newspaper journalists, podcast creators, written campaign videos to inspire local change, and even been part of creating a play for a national puppet touring company.
