Beyond Words

About the service

Beyond Words is the UK’s national charity for visual literacy and emotional wellbeing.

Everyone knows pictures can be more powerful than words. Being able to ‘read’ the images we see is how we know a green light means go, a smile means someone is happy to see us, or a piece of art tells us a story. This is the core of visual literacy: the ability to make meaning from the pictures in front of us.

Beyond Words works with people with lived experience to co-create word-free picture stories that help people understand and communicate their feelings, learn about new experiences and tell their own stories.
