Leasing Scheme Wales campaign hits the screens

We’re excited to launch a new campaign for Leasing Scheme Wales. We are raising awareness of this incredibly important initiative designed to boost the availability and affordability of private rentals across Wales. The aim is to make more homes available to who are most in need within our communities, by making renting more appealing and easier for landlords (and potential landlords). The scheme offers access to a range of support including grants to get properties up to an agreed standard (including up to £25k for empty properties), lease guaranteed rental payments, repairs and property management are all covered as well as all liaison with tenants. If you are a second property owner in Wales and want to find out more, click here.

Two tidy shoots for Climate Action Wales

Our Senior Designer Lauren headed off to Barry to spend the day with the team at Keep Wales Tidy, shooting case study videos that shine a spotlight on an electrical recycling business and a beach litter pick. It was an inspiring day and amazing to see what local schemes bringing communities together to make a difference!

Showcasing conservation with RSPB

Our Senior Designer Sara was directing a shoot, this one was in North Wales for IEPAW (the Interim Environmental Protection Accessor for Wales) at a RSPB nature reserve, capturing the incredible work they’re doing to protect Wales’ precious and diverse habitats.
