    Story

    Hi, my name is Billy Arthur and I am a fourteen-year-old filmmaker, currently residing in Gloucestershire.

    I am trying to raise the funds to make a short film about running away, and the struggles of family life, in order to raise awareness for Childline, and to help other kids realise they are not the only ones going through this.

    Very recently, a friend of mine ran away from home and slept rough after struggling with family issues at home. He had no one to go to for support in his time of crisis, and that is why I felt like I need to document his issue, in the only way that I really know how to, through the medium of film.

    You have probably heard of an incredible charity that does phenomenal work helping children in need of support all around the country, called Childline. The problem is that so many children don't know about or don't know how to talk to this charity.

    Childline is there 24/7, whether you are online or on the phone, but the work they do cannot be done without support, but not only that, they need to be known. If children don't know of Childline, or charities like it, then they will not be able to get the support that they so dearly need.

    As a filmmaker going through school, I just do not have enough time to get a job in order to raise the funds for this film, which is why your donation would mean so much, as it would help make this short film a reality.

    Your donations will not only help make this film, which will raise awareness for Childline, but all of the profits and leftover donations will also go to Childline, in order to make this film as beneficial as possible.

    You could also help if you are interested in being a part of this film, either if you want to act, or if you have film experience. If you want to be a part of this film, email me at films@billyarthur.co.uk.

    Thank you so much for all of your support, if you could share this page with all of your friends it would be incredibly appreciated.
