During our film shoot in May 2024 a young man who was recently released from prison was referred to our organisation. After speaking to him he opened up about being homeless at the time and sofa surfing; expressing a need for support. We decided to hire him as a runner on our shoot and pay him for his work, afterwards he not only expressed that he really enjoyed working with the team but also stated ‘I don’t think you understand the impact you are having on my life’. Since coming of the shoot we have continued to provide him follow up support by advising him on housing and talking to him about life, challenges and how best to handle his situations.
