About Us

Little Green Pig was founded in 2008 by Ella Burns who was inspired by author Dave Eggers TEDX talk and his journey in establishing 826 Valencia in San Francisco. In 2010, Ella was joined by Julie Watson, who together developed the organisation into the amazing concept it is today, achieving charitable status in 2012. Now one of over 40 international chapters including UK sister organizations Ministry of Stories and Grimm & Co we are part of a worldwide community of charities & not for profits focused on giving children and young people agency through innovative creative writing and literacy programmes.
