Have you got a story to tell? This spring will see the next gathering of UK Census data, conducted by the government every ten years to collect information on the public and plan services. This year's census will collect more data than ever before, and for the first time will be available to complete online.

In addition to this data collection, local councils are keen to find out more about the changing face of Britain through their Then and Now family stories campaign. Families are asked to provide two family photographs from the last 100 years, and a short story of up to 500 words about how life has changed for your family.

Perhaps great-great-great grandfather built the house you live in today? Or, like many Londoners, your family moved here from abroad? Have you had opportunities your parents could never have dreamed of, or does their past look rosy to you now? Whatever your story, submit it here for a chance to win one of ten fantastic Olympus cameras.

How has your family and locality changed? Let us know below, and don't forget you can find more N4 Stories at the Park Theatre!
