The Solution
Own Books worked with our Passioneer, Trevor, to put together a detailed video explaining the work the charity does and how they can help children in prmary schools, who may not be able to get access to books.
“The team at Make Good Grow matched us with their Passioneer, Trevor, who came to a school with us and recorded the children reading our books. He was then able to make us a video about how Own Books works. This video will help spread the understanding of Own Books quickly and easily to our schools. We are unable to go into all schools and this will make a huge difference to us in highlighting our work to them.
Trevor was the answer to our problem. He created a wonderful video for us to highlight our work and this will enable us to spread the word more effectively and easily. We couldn’t have done it without Trevor!”
"It was a pleasure to work with the creative team behind Own Books, to produce a video for use in primary schools across the country, to promote the work they do, bringing books to children who have little opportunity to read at home. As a former Primary Teacher and then a Teacher of Profoundly Deaf Children, the work done by Own Books really appealed to me.
“They had a script and ideas for a promotional video, to use in school assemblies. I produced a short video, filmed in a local primary school, and edited together with stills, scans, video clips and music.
