Charities and Community Groups

Our values mirror all group's aim objectives.

We are:

- approachable	- respectful
- dependable	- confidential
- flexible	- professional
- reliable	- accessible

We have worked on a number of projects with various Charities and Community groups. We are associate partners of Together, a leading and oldest mental health charity and have worked on two long-term projects with the Race Equality Foundation.

Whether making a promotional, fund-raising, event recording or training film, we think it is important to spend time getting to know the organisation before commencing filming. This helps us understand the content needed, how to make best use of resources available and the style and look required. Throughout the process, we work alongside our clients and keep them informed and involved.

We are very sensitive to the needs of each group and will adapt our working practices accordingly. When producing a DVD for Richard House Children's' Hospice, we saw it as a priority that those being filmed were comfortable and enjoyed the experience.

We work collaboratively with service users making film accessible whilst using it as a tool for empowerment. When producing a Docu-drama for VIA, a campaign group for people with learning difficulties, members were involved in script writing, acting and decision-making.

Our ongoing work with Inspirational Filmworks, a mental health service user film group has gone from strength to strength. They have filmed and produced four films for the Community Channel and two for NHS staff training. They were also awarded the Oxleas Recognition Award for Best Practice in 2005.

Quotes from some of our clients

I really enjoyed working with Flexible Films and we were all delighted with the film. They were patient and very creative, they understood our needs quickly and we found them efficient and reliable. I would certainly recommend Flexible Films to anyone." Helen Mathews Minister Bromley By Bow Centre

Richard House Children's Hospice would like to say a big thank you to Flexible Films for producing such an inspiring and sensitive promotional video. The team created a product which is an invaluable tool in communicating our services because of its moving and insightful content. We would recommend Flexible Films for their professionalism, creativity and compassion. Alex Brooks-Johnson Director of Fundraising, Richard House Hospice

What we wanted was a service that allowed users to express what it's like living with this illness. We knew the process would be as important as the end product. Getting people together in a group, getting them to take responsibility, and engage in a daily routine, is part and parcel of the film group. On a weekly basis I have seen a difference. People are more confident, they have more self- esteem and more camaraderie. This has shown us that there is a different way of doing things. David Williams Inspirational Filmworks Founder
