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.
“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
“We thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with Mile 91. Catherine and Ben emanate both professionalism and talent. They fully understood our brief and always acted on our requests but were also willing to give direction and draw on their own creativity. Their efficiency enabled us to quickly turn around a challenging project.”
Poppy Gill
Communications Officer
“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
“As well as meeting the key requirements of our brief, delivering a detailed story audit and helping us to identify content gaps, Catherine and Sarah provided a wealth of thoughtful analysis to help us reflect on our approach to storytelling. As a result of the project, we have data, insights and recommendations that we refer to regularly, and these are continuing to shape our approach.”
Rachel Crews
Communications Manager
“With the support and expertise of Mile 91, CottonConnect’s confidence in storytelling has gone from strength to strength. Programme teams have been trained in smartphone filming making and photography which mean we are now capturing authentic stories from the field. As a result, we have a collection of films that support our impact reporting and stakeholder engagement work, plus a growing library of photography.”
Alison Ward
Chief Executive
“Mile 91 were exceptionally supportive and accommodating. Despite the complexity of our project, they made the process appear effortless. They produced authentic and powerful films, written stories, and pictures of people affected by Multiple Sclerosis that communicate complex healthcare challenges in a clear and engaging way. There was a huge range of images too!”
