Key activities 2023/24
Our big key activity in 2023/24 was implementing what we had learned during our research project with Kingston University entitled “PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE CONTENT AND BEHAVIOURAL INSIGHTS”
Making more engaging and understanding films that help more people
Difficulties in 2023
2023 showed us the hard tough side of running a charity, on the way back from filming for KCF we were unloading kit and someone stole 2 of our cameras, Police were of course called but no joy. Because insurance for used equipment is still so high our kit is uninsured. Lessons learned of course but still deeply sad.
Ongoing activities for us was building on our social media network, with tick-tock being our newest and most relevant platform for our target audience. Using what we learned from our research project to make better and more engaging films,
We are still very active in our community, creating filmed content for 6 different charity groups to help them engage with their own audiences, something we feel is key.
Key stats for 2023-24

Future initiatives.
Our ambitions are growing, we will continue to bid for funding to enable us to engage with more people. Key funding for the next year will be around our video mapping concept, where we want to put a video projector into empty shops, sharing our message of positive mental health content to passers-by, using animated content to achieve this. Not only will this push our reach further we hope it will also help more deprived areas engage with mental health as financial burdens on businesses take hold.
This approach will help us not only share the content we create but encourage others to film and share on their own social networks. Let’s face it is we use video projectors and CGI to fill a shop with water complete with animated fish, passersby are going to pull out a phone and hit record.
We will continue to support local organisations and charities this year with the work they do. Offering help with filming and production to help them realise their full potential as support organisations.
