Charity Video Production
Fundraising films, awareness campaigns and impact storytelling for charities and non-profit organisations.
Handled with care, made to move people
Charity films usually mean telling someone’s story, sometimes a difficult one, in a way that respects them and still moves people to give or act. We take time over consent, framing and how people are shown, as well as the finished cut.
We’ve worked with St Oswald’s Hospice for years, on their brand launch, Focus on Living, Gifts in Wills and their Giving Day.

What a film can help raise
A hospice Giving Day our film was part of raised over £300,000, and a film we made for a community choir helped them secure a £180,000 foundation grant. We’ll always be straight with you about what a film can and can’t do for an appeal.

“The team consistently demonstrates professionalism and discretion while filming on site. … Equipment is managed carefully, spaces are left tidy, and filming is planned thoughtfully to avoid any impact on patient care or operational activity.”
