Charity partnerships like The One Foundation and World Duty Free are incredibly powerful, helping raise millions of pounds for long term causes like access to clean water in Kenya.
We followed a team of staff from various airports in the UK on their journey to Kenya, where they saw first-hand the difference that access to clean water was making in the lives of people living in some of the most deprived areas of the country. To capture a bunch of people who have never been to this part of the world, and who are seeing the impact of their work, was rewarding in its own right.
Thanks to bottles of One Water they sell at Gatwick, Aberdeen and Manchester airports, lives are being changed for the better as access to clean water becomes a reality.
The film was shown to all staff members of World Duty Free at their annual All Hands meeting to help contextualise where the money they raise through water sales goes.

As part of our long-standing relationship with British Airways’ Community Investment team we spent time in Durban, South Africa, with Tom Hewitt and his crew of ex-street kids now-surfing professionals known as Surfers Not Street Children.
Apart from their partnership with Comic Relief, British Airways offer annual bursaries to individual projects around the world that they feel are providing long-term sustainable development to the community. Durban has a long history of homelessness and street crime, so a surfing project that engages young kids and give them some life-changing guidance can make a huge impact.
Once we actually managed to get all the Surfers Not Street Children kids in the same place at the same time (“it’s like herding cats” said Tom in despair) hanging out with these bright enthusiastic young guys was the highlight – you could feel the energy coming from them, all buzzing from the experience of surfing and being filmed. One even requested a coffee with seven sugars which probably contributed to the general energy level.
This film is another great example of how we approach the subject matter of our CSR film projects in a way that shines a light on the great work that some of the world’s leading brands are doing on the ground. By highlighting the purpose that drives these leading brands, our films showcase their philanthropy and the positive impact they’re having on communities around the world.

In the latest of our ongoing relationship with British Airways and Comic Relief, this time we took our cameras to a baby club in the outskirts of Cape Town, to se how Flying Start helps provide the best start in life for mothers living with HIV and their little ones.
All storyboards go out the window when faced with toddlers on the loose; that energy was manifest in the film!
