Changing the world starts with making a single connection. You need to engage and move people if you want their help, and sharing stories is a great way to do this. When you tell a story using video you can appeal to your audience in an emotive way, utilising visuals and audio to create a genuine and meaningful experience for them.
At Neck of the Woods Films we set out to produce films for charities and non-profits that will stand out and make a difference. We love the work that we do. We’re passionate about helping charities reach their fundraising goals and connect with people who share a common purpose. We’ve helped national charities, local charities and even individuals achieve amazing things and we want to do that with you too.
Charity campaign videos are used globally by non-profits to reach new audiences, put important topics in the spotlight and to bring about change. A successful campaign results in people taking action: video and animation make this happen.
Human stories move people, it’s that simple. Charities encounter these important stories all the time and sharing them with your audience is paramount. Charity case study videos are perfect for this and bring these stories into sharper focus than any other format.
Charities concentrate so hard on making change that sometimes they forget to talk about themselves. People aren’t just looking for facts and figures, they’re looking for someone they can believe in and work with. With a charity brand film, you can show your audience that this is you.
We’ve worked with charities of all shapes and sizes, from large national charities such as Drinkaware, Centrepoint and Centre for Ageing Better to research organisations such as NIHR and Sight Research UK . We’ve made films about incredible fundraising efforts, films for national campaigns and personal case studies. Check our showreel for a sample of our work.

In September 2017, Lamar Stewart was murdered at a party. He had done nothing wrong, yet his life was taken in an act of violence that left his family and friends devastated. Despite their grief, his family Karen and Lashawna bravely chose to share their story in the hope that it might help others facing similar losses.
This film is one of the pieces of work we are most proud of. No one will ever do more to create change than Karen and Safer London, but knowing that our work can play even a small role in amplifying their message is deeply meaningful.
We work with change makers to create charity videos about positive change, human achievement and social impact. It may be the story of a youth programme, or the hero film that spearheads a vital fundraising campaign. If you’re looking to change the world in some way, you need these stories to be told well. Non-profits make our world better every day, but they aren’t always the best at telling these stories. We’re a full service video agency that helps charities do just that.
