Life Growing Up

In June 2020 we launched the BSL & subtitled version of our film Life Growing Up. We're very pleased to provide this inclusive version for the deaf community, to enable access to the information, stories and experiences of young people living with HIV.

We are very proud that Life Growing Up was awarded winner in the Longform Under £5million Turnover Category at the Charity Film Awards in April 2020.

The Charity Film Awards celebrates the effective use of video by the third sector to change mindsets, raise awareness for the charity or fundraise.

400 charities entered the awards, more than 110,000 members of the public voted, and 127 charities made the shortlist in the world's biggest cause-based film event. Finalists were then voted on by both the public and the judges panel. For more information visit: www.CharityFilmAwards.com.
