To support the Leicester Hospitals Charity’s Appeal for a new teenage/young people cancer ward at Leicester Royal Infirmary we were commissioned to create this video. We prepared all the interviews and then worked with an in-house cameraman. We then crafted a narrative from all the raw footage.
Leicester Hospitals Charity, with support from the Teenage Cancer Trust, and the Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust, needs to raise £1.4 million for the project to go ahead. If the money can be raised in time, work on the new unit will start in summer 2012.

There are six million carers in the UK with many of them experiencing social isolation and unable to take time out from their caring role. Caring is a subject that has always been close to our hearts and this led us to set up our charitable arm, soundinnovation. soundinnovation’s first project, Give Us A Break, aimed to ease the burden of caring for a group of carers in Hampshire by providing a few days away, as well as ongoing support over the phone and online. This short slideshow brings together some of the amazing images from the project with thoughts and feelings from the carers involved.

I’m sure we’ve all dipped into our pockets on the flight home from a holiday and given our last few cents or dollars to the cabin crew’s charity. But have you ever considered what happens to those coins or notes once you leave the plane? sounddelivery was asked to produce a short film on behalf of the Family Holiday Association to reveal how notes and coins from all over the world are collected together and “recycled” for future use.

This short film has been produced for Mansfield Museum as part of a project capturing stories and memories of staff from the Mansfield Metal Box – an old Victorian factory that’s been producing tins for more than 150 years. The interviews will form part of an exhibition at the Museum in September/October 2011 celebrating the factory’s contribution to the local economy.

Commissioned by the Beth Johnson Foundation, London Youth were asked to create a series of workshops to find out more about young people’s views on age, ageing, and what they thought older people could offer them. Having worked with London Youth in the past they then asked sounddelivery to create some audio and multi-media reports based on what the young people said.

Families who have lost a loved one in military service are spending their summer holidays together as part of a project to support bereaved children and their remaining parent. Families’ Activity Breaks – also know as FAB camps – are activity holidays run by the Ministry of Defence in partnership with YHA (Youth Hostel Association). The aim of the camps is to provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere for families to deal with their grief and meet with other families who have been through a similar experience.

The Forget-Me-Not Appeal is raising funds to create a national centre of excellence for dementia care in Leicester Hospitals. We were commissioned to put together this short film to help spread the message about the appeal.

During the summer of 2009 YHA gave small cameras to some of their volunteers to record video diaries while at DoIt4Real camps. sounddelivery has put together a short promo film for YHA which is now being used by the volunteering team at recruitment events.
