As the dawn breaks, the world wakes to find that homelessness no longer exists. An evocative, poetic meditation on what's possible if we all get behind Crisis' new, singular 50 year purpose.
Finding an alternative framing of homelessness was ket to the creative we developed; the issue is so often depicted in tired, derogatory stereotypes that Crisis were determined to avoid.
Together...' was released to mark the 50th anniversary of Crisis, provoked conversations and laid the groundwork for the announcement of the charity's plan to end homelessness for good. It went on to be recognised for Best Production in the Creativepool Annual.

Whether it's the last of the milk, the last night-bus home, or something more serious like help with healthcare - missing out sucks. That’s why Mencap want everyone with a learning disability to know about all of the additional medical support available to them.
Created with this very specific target audience in mind, we worked with animator Peter Baynton (The Tiger Who Came to Tea), to maximise accessibility through easy to understand scenes, featuring distinctive characters and a vivid colour palette.
Designed to be an evergreen explainer animation, this has been used since 2017 as a key asset in Mencap's #dontmissout campaign, encouraging sign-ups to the Learning Disability Register.

An uber-colourful paper-craft creation that illustrates a child’s experience of contacting Childline, from initial trepidation to relief and resolution.
With a lot of messaging to deliver to a young audience the NSPCC came to us because they needed an innovative approach, one that would surprise, delight and hold the attention of children of all ages.
‘Making Contact’ became a core component of the NSPCC’s School Service for several years and was seen by millions of children across the UK. It won Best Production in the Creativepool Annual and was reproduced in 13 additional languages for other European child helplines.

An intimate exploration of what it takes to train as a chef and why young people are drawn to life in a professional kitchen. Featuring profiles of Leanne, Jack and Lucca, who’ve all fallen foul of the conventional education system but found a passion for working with food.
We worked closely with the Shoreditch Trust throughout to make sure the documentary accurately and sensitively portrayed the three young and potentially vulnerable at its heart.
The film, which went on to receive a Lovie for Best Editing, has been used to successfully promote Blue Marble training to prospective participants and funders.

An emotionally delicate animation about self-harm, how it can affect young people and the remedial power of talking about trauma.
The NSPCC challenged us to find a new way to portray self-harm, to create a film that could provide gentle reassurance and guidance to an extremely sensitive target audience, without using potentially triggering imagery.
The film was used as a resource on the new Childline website. Yuka Takeda’s combination of hand-drawn illustration and stop-motion papercraft technique was awarded a Lovie for Best Animation.
