Great Western Credit Union

Raising £1.5 Million +

Helping great wester credit union raise over £1.5 million with a standout crowdfunding video.

Great Western Credit Union are one of the UK’s biggest credit unions. As winter approached, they wanted to raise extra funds to offer more loans to the people who needed it most.

Working to a tight budget we filmed everything in a day and used as much archival footage as possible.

The end film was a part animated, part interview led film that clearly, and energetically showcased the work of GWCU.
