Who Are HEYCU?
HEYCU is a charity based in Hull, East Yorkshire, that aims to provide experiences and opportunities to children living in disadvantaged areas of the city.
Passionate about working with children to develop a love of learning - and working to raise their aspirations by providing impactful experiences - the charity lets children discover new places, meet new people, and explore the world around them.
Led by CEO Rose James, the charity believes that every child is brilliant at something; unless children try new things, how are they supposed to find their talents?
At Influence, we have had the privilege of joining the children on the various experiences up and down the U.K. to capture photography and video content for their cause; helping them to convey their purpose and experience through the power of emotive modern day storytelling.
The Charity Film Awards 2024
The Charity Film Awards, held annually, are an award ceremony in which charity campaign films are submitted to gather as many votes as possible within 4 weeks. After the voting period closes, there is a judge’s selection period - with a second round of voting - and then the official awards ceremony.
HEYCU was shortlisted into the £450,000 - £1 Million category and was delightfully announced as the winner.
This was a fantastic achievement for everyone involved, from the hard-working and dedicated individuals at HEYCU to us here at the agency. We loved providing a medium for this heart-warming story to be told, and for a cause that is very close to our heart.
