PR firm creates video to bring local charity to life
Local public relations firm, Townhouse Communications, has created a video for We Love Lichfield to help showcase the work it does across the district.
The video explains how the fund works, its fundraising and the grants given away to voluntary groups.
With appearances from corporate supporters David Lloyd Lichfield, and Burntwood grant recipient Spark Community Caf�, the video has been produced free of charge and it is hoped it will help raise the profile of the fund while attracting new sponsors.
Julian Fisher, director of Townhouse Communications said, “I 've been a supporter and advisor of We Love Lichfield for many years. Its work is outstanding, raising funds to distribute grants to voluntary groups across the district. We generated its website and other marketing collateral but felt the fund needed a video in particular to help it attract new supporters and sponsors.
“A huge thanks to David Lloyd Lichfield for being part of the video. Also, everyone at Spark Caf� Burntwood who have received multiple grants from We Love Lichfield and do a superb job helping families across the Burntwood area.
“Through the video potential recipients will have information so that they can apply. Also, potential sponsors and supporters will see the difference the fund makes across the district and hopefully come forward to help. ”
Simon Price, patron of We Love Lichfield said, “The video really brings what we do to life. It 's great to have a video that the team can send to people and businesses simply explaining what the charity does and how it helps. A huge thanks to Julian and the Townhouse team. ”

We Love Lichfield is a local fund that provides small grants of up to £1000 to a wide range of projects based in Lichfield District. The fund will consider all applications from local groups in need twice a year. Companies and individuals are welcome to donate or fund-raise and all money is invested through a permanent endowment fund by registered charity The Community Foundation For Staffordshire on behalf of We Love Lichfield in line with charity commission guidelines.
The interest and dividends earned on the invested money is then distributed by the We Love Lichfield Fund as small grants across Lichfield, Burntwood and the surrounding villages across the district. The beauty of this model is that it will provide a source of on-going funding that can be used for small grants, and larger grants as the fund grows, for many years to come.
