Haywards Heath storyteller’s Zoom show to support Chailey Heritage Foundation

Jason Buck, from Haywards Heath, is giving his services for free to support Chailey Heritage Foundation, which supports young people with complex neurodisabilities.

It will take place on Wednesday, February 17 from 6pm to 7pm, and anyone can book for just £5 per household, with all money going to the charity.

Jason said: “I met one of Chailey’s staff at a Storytelling Club in Cuckfield so I was so pleased when she asked if I could help.

“Charities are obviously having a challenging time during the pandemic so I am happy to be doing my little bit to support what is obviously a very worthwhile cause.”

Jason will tell four stories suitable for all ages, a mixture of origins, mythical and fun.

He said: “Engagement and rapport are key components of storytelling.

“I compare it to a stand-up comedian performing.

“Storytelling can make someone laugh and it can also make someone feel sad.

“It’s a pleasure reducing adults to tears in the kindest possible way.

“It’s a live experience, I talk directly to the audience and I aim to get everyone immersed into the story I tell.”
