Stories For Change

Simon’s Story For Change As part of our Stories for Change initiative, I decided to use my time to create an advert for St Petrocs homeless charity to encourage people to volunteer for them. I have been volunteering for St Petrocs for over 6 months, and have taken part in several fundraising challenges and events. I thought I could use my skills as a filmmaker to give them something …

Simon’s Story For Change For my Stories for Change project, I teamed up with The Riding for the Disabled centre in Chiverton.
