Video Production for Charities & Non Profits
We care about your cause, and we want to help. Our charity video production can help non-profits, 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 and years of experience creating all kinds of charity video productions, from filming around the UK and beyond to animated videos, and are so passionate that we regularly volunteer in our spare time.
By working together 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 of your cause and raising awareness. 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 history means we never waste time or resources.

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!
Do you have a project in mind for your charity, or would you like a quick quote for our charity video production and chat about your possibilities? Send us a message and we’ll get right back to you.
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, education, homelessness, medical and more.
Our creative video studio provides a full end-to-end video service for filmed videos and animations. Each production is bespoke to you. First, we start with an open dialogue to develop the strategy, art direction, and script, and then we take it right through to filming, design, and editing.
Are you looking for a more general introduction to your charity or organisation with a brand or overview video?
Will your customers or people who use your service say it better with a testimonial video?
Do you have something complex you need to explain with explainer animation?
Do you need to train staff or volunteers about a new procedure in the workplace?
We can help guide you on what is the best type of video for your charity or non-profit, whilst also taking into consideration your timescales and budget.

BRAND VIDEO
A brand 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 – we can’t deny, we love creating animated videos.
Some non-profits focus on sensitive topics, and 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 the risk of 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 emotion through the interview, so it really shows in the video.
Hearing from those who use or receive your services gives real joy and heart to a video. They know how they have benefitted best 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. The script is an important base for creating an impactful video.
From the approved script, we develop a detailed storyboard for the video. This is where we describe what we will want to see for each sentence or meaning – a written story of the video.
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.
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.
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, education, 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 design before drawing the fully illustrated storyboard so you can get a feel of 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 have stacks of in-house skills to create all kinds of videos that perfectly complement 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, in the UK, but our team regularly film all over 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.

For larger productions, such as a promotional or advertising video, we can include a full cast of actors or a presenter and offer location and studio hire.
Recently, we’ve been lucky to work with many charities including: Homeless Link, Coram Beanstalk, Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles, South East London Mind, Addictions North Each, The Association of Mental Health Providers, The Mighty Creative, GlobalPlatform, Urbact, Wellcome Trust, numerous community groups, and Wigan Youth Zone and public institutes such as Visit Britain, Abu Dhabi Department for Environment, Wigan & Leigh College, Preston City Council and many departments of the NHS.
