This Is Us – A new book celebrating the lives of our diverse population.
Wednesday 18 October 2023
This evening our learners and staff shared their inspirational stories of real-life experiences at a special event held at the Library Lecture Theatre in Bolton.
Ladybridge High School is full of amazing people who come from a diverse range of nationalities and backgrounds, and their stories were presented beautifully and with real emotion to a captive audience. It has been an honour to listen to their experiences and to discover so much about their lives, which have now been collated into our very own book, ‘This Is Us’.
In curating this book we worked closely with ‘Tales to Inspire‘, a fantastic local organisation focused on harnessing the power of stories to make connections with others. Many thanks to Krish Patel and Madiha Sosan for the amazing workshops with our learners and the confidence that you were able to inspire within them.
The publication of the book has been generously supported by the North West Comino Consortium – an organisation that supports important work in schools across the North West in creating cultural, creative and real-world experiences for young people. Thankyou to Pat Walters and Deborah Davidson for your support with this project.
As a result of this funding, we are able to donate all proceeds from the sale of our book to BRASS, a Bolton based charity which supports refugees and asylum seekers with a range of services to help overcome barriers and integrate into the local community.
Copies of our book are available to purchase in school for £6 and can also be purchased via the Arbor Parent app. Alternatively, please visit our SumUp Online Store or scan the QR code where a delivery option is also available. Please support this worthy cause and the efforts of our learners and staff by purchasing your very own copy!

Copies of our book are now also available in Waterstones Bolton and Bolton Central Library. Many thanks to both organisations for supporting our school and local community!
We would like to thank Bolton Libraries & Museums for hosting the evening and for their help during the event. We would also like to thank everyone who attended and helped to make the evening so incredibly special for everyone involved. It was a truly momentous occasion!
