🎥 On Tuesday, our Marketing team attended the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Employment and Skills Marketing Phone Videography session, part of the wider SYMCA Employment and Skills Forum.

Led by Helen Downing and Jasmine Bunting, the session was packed with practical tips—from scripting and framing to lighting, phone video capabilities, and quick editing using CapCut.

As part of the workshop, we scripted and filmed A-roll footage indoors—capturing the primary narrative, interviews, key scenes, and dialogue to drive the story and convey the core message.

We also shot B-roll (supplemental footage) on the streets of Sheffield, including scenic views, close-ups, and background visuals to add depth, context, and visual appeal—making our videos more dynamic and engaging.

👏 It’s fantastic to see SYMCA supporting their providers in such a hands-on and empowering way—helping us create high-quality, on-the-go content without relying on costly videographers.

We’re already putting what we learnt into action… so keep your eyes peeled for fresh new content coming soon! 👀

Mental Health Foundation 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮

At the Skills People Group, community means more than just teamwork — it means looking out for one another, being present, and creating a safe, supportive space where everyone feels valued and heard.

We know that mental health matters every day. That’s why we’re committed to building a culture where staff feel empowered to speak up, check in with each other, and access the help they need — whether through wellbeing conversations, mental health first aiders, or flexible support when life gets tough.

Together, we create a workplace where no one has to struggle alone. Because community isn’t just where we work — it’s who we are. 💛

🚪 N.O. = Next Opportunity

Whatever stage you’re at — learning, job hunting, or changing direction — keep going. You've got this. 💥
