From podcasts to BBC documentaries, the Out of the Shadows media campaign has been a journey in itself. Please take a look below at some of our achivemnts
Blondy's People
Welcome to Blondy's People, a project started in the 2020 lockdown to highlight the need for change in how we support victims of exploitation. The outcome was 28 epic interviews with everyone from a vicar to George the Poet.
​
The aim was to show that if children receive wrap-around care, with their needs met in different ways by different people, then maybe we could start to make the changes needed for our children and young people. ​​
​
28 interviews brought together to give you, the viewer, a contextual lens into what could have saved a child called Blondy, and how we can stop others from being failed again

The #ICU Campaign
The #ICU campaign was a huge success. It evoked emotions in many different people and the messages that went out were powerful. Somebody said that the trend reads like a silent prayer because the people that the messages are being sent to may never see them.
​
This is my thank you to each and every person that took part. Here is just a small section of some of the messages that blew up social media. At last count, #ICU has had more than 1,858 Tweets!!!
