Since 2020, I've had the pleasure of working with the Trust for Developing Communities, a charity that supports communities across Brighton & Hove.

The annual project of celebrating their community champions through film has developed and grown over the years. In 2024, I was honoured to join 7 winners at their local community projects, to capture them in action and hear their volunteering story. I also shone a light on TDC's impactful youth work across the city by creating an additional film.

Each year, once filming and editing is complete, the films are premiered at TDC's AGM in front of around 100 staff and community members. Being able to see the room's reactions to the films in real-time, including the champions themselves, is such a special experience for me.

Congratulations to the 2024 winners! Learn about their incredible community impact by watching their short 1-2 minute films below.
