achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Young Women’s Film Academy is a charity based in
Newcastle upon Tyne, working across Tyne and Wear
and Northumberland regions.
We aim to improve the emotional well-being of
disadvantaged young women through participation in
film production.
We ensure that the young women we work with are
supported and developed by professional creative
practitioners and skilled youth workers with
safeguarding qualifications and competency in
therapeutic approaches, who can foster a trusting, safe,
supportive environment.
Our approach is underpinned by evidence
demonstrating that when we engage authentically with
vulnerable children and young people, their ‘narrative’
or ‘their story’ can be a pivotal way in which they can
safely explore their life, their personal challenges and
reframe their future.
We enable young women to come together to share
their lived experiences, finding commonality and
connections. They are supported to explore their
creativityin a safe environment,considerate of the| emotional needs of the participants, ensuring their wellbeing is of primary importance. The opportunities to learn industry standard practice at the Young Women's Film Academy create new pathways into the film industry for disadvantaged young women of the North-East and help to address the gender and socio-economic inequalities that exist in the industry. The Young Women’s Film Academy also undertakes film commissions for the charitable and statutory sector that aim to raise awareness of issues affecting girls and women. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
