Video Case Study : Videos for Charities
Client : Heart Of Bucks
The Brief
Heart of Bucks is a community foundation thriving in Buckinghamshire – but not many people in the wider community of Buckinghamshire know they exist!
Since they started back in the year 2000, hundreds of donors have worked with them to provide grants and loans totalling £5 million to 1,600 community groups in all parts of the county.
They approached us with the task of raising their visibility and increasing the number of donors who help them with their invaluable work in supporting charities and community projects in Buckinghamshire.
This was a project that required concept and scripting from scratch, with full video production for a number of charities and not for profit projects.
The aim was to make more people aware of the real need and deprivation in this affluent local community. Heart of Buck’s intention is to use the video to prompt Buckinghamshire residents and business people to support the smaller charities, which require more help, as opposed to the wealthier, more visible national charities.

Bucks Community Foundation – Outreach Work
Bev Trevitt, of the Heart of Bucks, provides support for new groups in the county, to help them to create a solid foundation in which, they can deliver a successful project. By meeting and speaking with each of the groups who apply, it enables the Bucks Community Foundation to make a fully informed decision on the grant application.
Marketing results
The 5 videos were very well received by the client – but did they do the job? The video took centre-stage at a launch event – the feedback was that the audience found our video very moving and enlightening. We are looking forward to reporting back later in the year as to how the team at Heart of Bucks has used this impact to increase funds at their disposal for local charities and community projects.
