Kit Tarka Foundation Fundraiser - May '21

In August 2018 a group of 10 young people aged 14-24 got together to design a range of printed goods that they then pitched to a (friendly!) Dragons Den style panel of local business people at the end of the week. The group learnt how to design a company logo and brand, conduct market research, identify their target market, write a customer profile, design a marketing campaign, decide on a pricing strategy, and work out profit margins - all in a week! But it wasn't all work and no play - we even found time to fit in a morning at the arcade games!

Charity Promotional Video - February '18

For our second video challenge a group of 6 young people aged 15-24 got together to act as a film crew to plan, shoot and edit a short promotional video for a local homelessness charity - The Swindon Night Shelter. During the week they planned were they would shoot footage, interviewed staff and service users, and edited footage to provide the Charity with its first promotional video, helping them highlight the good work that they do and improve their exposure. 

Diary of a Social Conscience: Homelessness Video

In November 2017, our team of young people worked together to learn about homelessness in Swindon; what it is, how it happens, what agencies help, and what people can do that can help with the issue. The week saw the team out and about planning and filming footage on 8 different location shoots, interviewing dozens of professionals and services users, and bringing it all together in a short film documenting their journey.

This project was kindly funded by the #iwill Youth Social Action fund from Wiltshire Community Foundation
