Video Production for Charities & Non Profits
We care about your cause, and we want to help. Our charity video production can help non-profits, CICs, charities, and other mission-driven organisations make a change.
At Digital Finch, we genuinely care about helping others and want to help you make a difference. We have a wide range of experience and years in the studio creating all kinds of charity video productions, from filming around the UK and beyond to animated videos.
By working with you collaboratively, we find the best way to increase awareness of your organisation’s message and achieve your goals – whether they’re fundraising, attracting volunteers, or just spreading the word about your cause. We’ve worked with and are trusted by many organisations, small and large, with their professional video content.
By national standards, we’re affordable, and we respect your budget to make the most out of what is possible. Our rich experience and skills mean we don’t waste time or resources.

Badleys
What an amazing piece of work. We are so grateful for all your hard work and for putting up with all my nitpicking!
I’ve been working on this project for 2 years and it’s taken a long time to come up with this simple way of explaining the approach. Nye’s writing plus your talent and hard work has now turned this into something accessible to everyone.
This animation will be used by organisations across the Homelessness sector to understand strengths-based working. Around 900 different charities in England are members of Homeless Link (including the huge ones like Crisis and Shelter and the small local night shelters and centres), so a lot of people are going to see it!
A huge thank you for all your work to date Victoria. You have captured our vision, and the videos look very smart.
I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for all your hard work over the past few weeks. Your work has been outstanding, and your partnership has been even more valuable. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.
We’ve never had a video this good!

Amazing! I love it, thank you so much. The team and I are so impressed, thank you. Everything looks and sounds great!
We were massively pleased with the video that you made for us, and we would not hesitate to work with you in the future.
Grace
I just wanted to say a massive thank you on behalf of Article 39 and Blooming Change for producing such a powerful animation, and also for providing the space for the young people to be collaborators in this project, which was really important to us.
We are so happy to finally have an animation which communicates Blooming Change so well and we really think it will provide other young people with the reassurance to get involved with the group.
Thank you so much again and it has been a pleasure working with you!

BRAND VIDEO
A brand video, or a general about us video is a great introductory tool to show people what your organisation is about and what your values and aims are. It amplifies your message and says what you do in a concise, heartfelt way.
Our crew can film your staff and volunteers, who often say it best, and your premises, or film on a site where your services usually take place. We can also mix it with supporting graphics or animated captions to give a full picture and aid memorability.
ANIMATED VIDEO
As a video studio with specialist designers and animators (which can be rare these days) we can’t deny, we love creating animated videos.
Some non-profits focus on societal challenges that are too sensitive to film, for example, those involving vulnerable or young people. So it can be difficult to film real people who are in receipt of the services your charity provides because of potential safeguarding issues. An animated video is an excellent way to get around this. It allows you to convey a strong message without risking identification or alienating anyone.
We also often use animated characters to add a human touch and empathy to a story. Or you can use animation to add a little humour whilst keeping the video relatable.
TESTIMONIAL OR CASE STUDY VIDEO
A video case study that goes through how your charity helps people from start to finish can speak volumes.
We work with you as a video partner to design questionnaires and interviews sensitively that bring out their emotions through the interview, so it really shows in the video. On the filming day, our directors are experienced in interviewing people and make sure they feel secure and comfortable to tell their story.
Hearing from those who use or receive your services gives a video real joy and heart. They know how they have benefited most and can say it genuinely and beautifully.

After a full briefing, we write a creative video script that aligns with your objectives and start working on the art direction and concepts. The script is an important base for creating a video that connects. Clients also sometimes provide their own script as a springboard, and we work closely to refine it for video.
From the approved script, we develop a detailed storyboard for the video which we called a Written Treatment. This is a text-based document where we describe what we want to see for each sentence or meaning – a written story of the video. We also develop the art direction and visual concept
For our live-action video productions, we film with a two-person crew. We’re friendly and hard-working. We can film anywhere: in studios, on your premises, or at home. We have high-end professional equipment, allowing us to capture a wide range of shots that showcase the environment, vibes, and high-quality audio of any speaker
For our animated video productions, we go on to illustrate the storyboard in full so you can envisage the video and see the entire flow before we animate. Each video is created bespoke to you.
This is where the video comes to life. We edit or animate the video and tie it all seamlessly together to create your story. In the end, we provide a fully polished video, complete with music, voiceover, and post-production.
As we have a thorough process in which you’re involved throughout, the final delivery is short and sweet. Most of our videos are horizontal, but we will create a vertical version if you want. We also supply English captions free of charge for accessibility.
Our portfolio clearly shows that you can trust us to find the right style of charity video production for you. We’ve worked on a range of sectors within the non-profit sphere, from education, children and young people’s services, addiction, homelessness, medical and more.
Our creative team designs and illustrates videos in various styles and can adapt them to suit your brand and charity’s tone of voice. Whether animated or filmed, any additional graphics or illustrations will always be made with your organisation’s campaign branding in mind.
We always provide style frames designs before drawing the fully illustrated storyboard so you can get a feel for the visuals from the start. This collaborative approach to our video projects is key – we value your input and want you to love the video from the start. We often involve user groups and wider stakeholders to ensure it truly connects.
We have the skills and knowledge to create video that perfectly complements your message and goals.
Not only do we concentrate on the look and visual flow, but we also work with professional voiceover artists (with a variety of accents and languages available) and use high-end music, sound recording, and design to help you feel fully immersed while you watch.

Our video production studio is based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, UK, but our team regularly films across the UK and beyond. Distance is no problem for us.
We can film your staff and volunteers at your premises or customers or service users at their premises or homes.
We interview carefully and respectfully, especially with sensitive topics and engage in active listening and kindness to ensure that any interviewees feel comfortable speaking.
Our filming kit can range from small and nifty, capturing as much as possible on a nimble rig, to larger equipment, including full lighting and a studio set.
For larger productions, such as promotional or advertising videos, we can include a full cast of actors or a presenter, and offer location and studio hire.
