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 like Drinkaware and Centre for Ageing Better to small local charities like Southampton Hospitals Charity and Small Charities Coalition. 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.

The education charity Future First were looking to help even more young people with their futures. They wanted to create their first ever brand video to be used as part of their national campaign.
We created a film that was bold and direct. The message was clear, that young people should have the opportunity to build their own future. Hearing this directly from young people made for an impactful and effective charity film.
Ageing in the UK is becoming more difficult, but not everyone is fully aware. Centre for Ageing Better are trying to change this and attitudes towards ageing more broadly.
The key to engaging people on this is hearing from real people. Lived experience is exactly what Ageing Better wants to share in order to drive change. We created this case study film to help bring real people’s experiences to the forefront of the issue and support the work of the charity.
York Road Project has a clear goal; to end homelessness in Woking. As part of a Christmas specific campaign they wanted to create an emotive animation. This would shed light on the cost of living crisis and its role in homelessness.
We worked with the charity to create an animation that was emotive, stylised and, most importantly, direct.
The Renewal Programme is a charity that supports people in the borough of Newham. For over fifty years they’ve been supporting marginalised people to build a life and support themselves in the Borough.
We worked with the charity to create a campaign video that would build awareness and help them boost their fundraising efforts.
University Hospital Southampton treats people from across the south. Southampton Hospitals Charity work tirelessly to make sure that the funds are there to support the amazing staff and patients at the hospital.
We created an emotive fundraising film to help them call attention to Robbie’s Rehab and to help generate life changing funds.
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.
