Learn to tell your story brilliantly. We run training courses in smartphone filmmaking and photography, interview skills, writing, how to plan ethical storytelling, and more.
Collaboration and co-creation is our passion. With words, photos and film we help you and your communities create inspiring stories that bring your work and messages to life.
Whether you are a seasoned storytelling organisation or just starting out, we can help you review your current activities and develop the best strategy for your story gathering.
We have transformed the brand photography for Royal Trinity Hospice, and made a film that helped them raise a record-breaking amount. In the film opposite you can hear Polly Balsom talking about why they invest in photography and film, and what it is like to work with us. To read about more of our work, click the button below.
“It feels very special working with Mile 91. From the outset, it felt like an extension of the team. I haven’t worked with another agency who feel this engaged, warm and personable. I don’t think anyone matches their expertise or their culture of storytelling. We’ve shifted into a space at Mind where storytelling is front and centre of what we do – and engagement with our content, donations and campaign sign-ups have increased because of it. Mile 91 have been instrumental in this.”

“Catherine was an uplifting and collaborative person to work with from the outset. As well as bringing her storytelling mastery to the conversation, she really listened to our specific organisational need and helped me to design an internal series of training courses that built capability and confidence in our frontline team.”
Chloe Smee
Senior Programme Manager
“I am so pleased we chose Mile 91. Planning before the shoot was really helpful – exploring our objectives for the day, discussing our location and how the day should run to ensure we got the most from the shoot. Ben was excellent. He was brilliant at making people feel at ease. We didn’t feel rushed and yet managed to get a huge range of images. Our photos are natural, warm and really reflect our work.”

“Thank you Mile 91 for the smartphone filming course – it was honestly the most useful and fun workshop I’ve ever been to. I really enjoyed putting what we learnt in the morning in to practice, and felt a huge sense of achievement showing my short video at the end of the day. We all left feeling so excited and motivated to make some great videos for Marie Curie!”
Vicky Larkin
Social Media Manager
“Being able to work with Mile 91 again was an absolute pleasure. We were so thrilled with our videos from previous years, we wanted them back as soon as we could. This time, it was exciting to work with our young carers from the start. They were involved in all the planning, including the types of videos they wanted to create, what their messaging would be and how they want their viewers to feel. It's safe to say the brief was very much fulfilled! For the young people to see what's involved behind the scenes and for us witness a passion being ignited for media in real-time was overwhelmingly inspiring and I am so happy that we were able to achieve such a profound project with Mile 91. Thank you!”
Leanne Wall
Participation Manager
“It was a real pleasure working with Mile 91. They worked with us to share the stories of care-experienced young people we've supported, bringing to life the impact of Become's work for our annual Impact Report. Their care and the considered approach they take to their stories work was exceptional. And I appreciated their honest feedback and the time they gave to reflect on how we could best work together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”
