Our new Emmaus film secured a top three position in the Longform ‘People’s Choice’ category of the Charity Film Awards, thanks in part to votes from the public.
‘An Introduction to Emmaus North West’ is an inspirational film highlighting the work of the Emmaus movement in the North West. The film features people supported by Emmaus alongside volunteers and staff, speaking about their experiences in communities and social enterprises.
Emmaus South Manchester is an emerging Emmaus group working to become an Emmaus community that provides a home, training, work opportunities and tailored support to people who experience homelessness.
On Wednesday 20 March, Ian Lloyd Jones, an Emmaus South Manchester Trustee who helped with the development of the film, attended this year’s awards event at The Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square, London. Since the creation of the Charity Film Awards in 2017, more than 3,000 charities have entered and benefitted – by raising awareness of their causes and boosting exposure, volunteer numbers and much-needed donations.
The Emmaus film was commissioned by the partnership of seven Emmaus communities in the North West and produced by award-winning photographic duo Photography by Anderson.
