This Pride Month, we're shining a light on ‘Who's There?’ - a powerful film from Micro Rainbow that explores the life-changing impact of moving into a Micro Rainbow safe house for LGBTQI people seeking asylum.

‘Who’s there?’ highlights how safety, community and belonging can help people rebuild their lives after fleeing persecution.

We're proud to celebrate Micro Rainbow, who were also a finalist in this year's Charity Film Awards. ✨

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This Charity Film Spotlight features two brothers, one shell and a subsequent childhood stolen in seconds.

Save the Children's film puts faces to a crisis that's affecting millions of children in Sudan, where explosive weapons are responsible for the majority of child casualties. The laws meant to protect them are being ignored.

These stories deserve to be heard. 🎬
