Throughout 2015 I was running a very ambitious, self-funded animation project, which I began to reward a group of teenagers for continuing to volunteer at a junior youth club, despite their senior club having to close.

Sadly, the project was closed down last December, so I changed venues, which has kept the project going in a limited way. Unbelievably, I recently found out that the building I moved to will be closing down soon as well.

I haven't found any volunteers and couldn't find any grants I'm even eligible to apply for as an individual, so I'm fundraising so that I can simply pay someone to help supervise the group.

Recently, I was commissioned to make a music video for Leeds band, Hope and Social, and I pledged my fee to this project.

If you'd prefer to receive something in return for your contribution, I'm also crowdfunding on Indiegogo with perks available here:

I realise not everyone can afford to contribute, so if you can't then please share this page with everyone you know instead.

Thanks in advance from:

Sam, Molly, Sarah, Emma, Katie, Codie, Charley and Richard!
