Everyday Independent Nottingham Crowd.
What does it even mean?…
•
Here it is ‘Everyday INC’
A printed publication we have been building for over a year and talking about for longer.
As filmmakers and storytellers we need to know how best to communicate and also to realise it’s not always in our specialism. We created this magazine to put these stories in the hands of people who they serve best, not just to sit within our existing community. Something you can pick up and put down at your leisure- something you can touch, keep or gift to someone.
‘Everyday INC’ showcases the inspiring stories and offerings of the people behind 50 independent businesses in Nottingham.
We believe in people, and the last few years has really given us faith that, no matter what, we’ve got each other’s backs in Nottingham and without each other Nottingham wouldn’t be what it is.
Which is why the tagline to Everyday INC is ‘People make the Place’.

We hope you find somewhere, meet someone and learn something.

Over a years worth of work has gone in to be able to introduce you to our first ever publication,
and oh boy are we proud of it.
•
A mismatch team of wonderful people have made this journey possible; their
knowledge, talent and patience have resulted in a magazine (more like a book) that captures what it means to be an independent business in Nottingham.
We hope you love it!

So here we go again…one year on, another ‘Blue Monday’. We thought we should reshare this film to show you all just how far we’ve come.

This last year has certainly been a rollercoaster and we’ve still got a fair way to go. But looking back to when we made this, we didn’t even know when we’d be able to meet again!

At least now we can go and do things to make January 2022 that little bit better… Whether it’s a hug, haircut or reunion with an old friend, go and do something today that makes you feel good.

For anyone in Nottingham or in the UK who is struggling with their mental health please text SHOUT to 85258 and a trained crisis volunteer will text you back. It is completely free 24/7.

Thank you to these inspiring independent businesses that got involved in this, go and see them if you can, their doors are open…












And Omar’s barbers!

And thanks again to their Nottingham neighbours who supported this film:

John Lewis X The Carousel, 2021.

Our video documenting The Carousel’s Pop Up Shop at John Lewis in the Victoria Centre, Nottingham last year. The Pop Up Shop included small businesses, freelancers and artists who are supported by The Carousel with the aim of increasing their exposure to promote their work and products. The collaboration hoped to promote independents through John Lewis’ more prominent platform.

COP26 saw hundreds of thousands of people come together in Glasgow to have their voices heard and to get the attention of world leaders and influential industries.

I (Tom) captured this film on ‘The Global Day of Climate Justice’ on Saturday 6th November where over 100,000 people took to the streets of Glasgow for the climate march, along with millions worldwide.

The atmosphere, energy and passion was incredible and felt like a historic moment.
The thing that stood out to me the most was the diversity of people marching in unity, with the common goal of saving our planet.

But how do we make this, not just a milestone, but a catalyst to reversing and tackling the impact of climate change?

We chatted with just before she jumped on her train home and she said “…ultimately despair isn’t going to save us; collective action, and hope and determination, to build something better, that’s what’s going to save us” and we couldn't agree more.

Here in Nottingham, we’ve made the commitment to become the first carbon neutral city in the country, reaching this target by 2028; which is incredible and something to be proud of, and we know with collective action and determination that we can do it, not because we have to or even want to but because we should.

As My Town Vision we are committed to being a helping hand to make this happen, and we will listen and support where we can, and change where we should.

We’ve got this.

“Insurance isn’t sexy, and we’re well aware of that, but everybody needs it!”

Meet the NFU Mutual team behind the insurance services.

Adam, Allan and their team are a friendly bunch that really do care about their customers.

They are tucked away in a converted barn in the North of Notts, in the quaint village of Eakring.

Something a little different for us.

Over the last few months we've been helping SleepHub to launch their latest product through a crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo.

We chose to work with SleepHub as, although they're based down south a lot of their team are from Nottingham, and they're a good bunch doing good stuff with big ambitions! And we wanted to help.

Tom 'one man band' filmed this in a hotel in The Cotswolds and their HQ in Oxford. Our aim was to effectively capture the human problem, whilst showcasing the scientific solution that SleepHub are promoting- all in a couple of days. Challenge accepted.

A bit more about SleepHub-
SleepHub's mission is to help those who suffer with insomnia, poor sleep and those who are trying to optimise their physical and mental health.

We know how the last couple of years has played havoc with sleep routines, anxiety and restlessness and the importance of good sleep has been more realised than ever.
SleepHub has been testing and pioneering ground breaking science to help support those who struggle with sleep.

This video showcases their latest product SleepHub Anywhere and how this portable device can support their users wherever they are.

Find out more through their indiegogo page and you can pre-order SleepHub Anywhere at a discounted price.

“It got to a stage where the kids were climbing over boxes to get to bed”.

Helen started making handmade truffles at home and then had an idea to combine the two treats that everyone loves… chocolate and pizza.

Rebels & Pioneers Exhibition

“It is about these public spaces being taken over by skaters, by artists, by rebels really!”

Nottingham - known for its rebel past, is a city full of culture, stories and independents which have all contributed to the community that is here today.

Rebels & Pioneers is a reflection of this theme, a collaborative exhibition that looks into our past, documents our present and with your help - dreams and hopes of the future.

Broadmarsh tunnel has always been the classic cut through that quickly gets you from one side of the city to the other. You often don’t think about the tunnel itself, just where it’s taking you.

But now with thanks to curator , local artist .f.w.i.h and photographer you can admire some vibrant art en route to the station or the square - depending which way you’re heading!

What are your hopes for the future of this city? For a chance for them to get seen (and hopefully heard) by the 40,000 people that walk through this tunnel each month, submit your words to the link in bio

Thank you for supporting this project

“Key Mortgages is all about the people, every single person who works here cares about the clients”.

Getting a new mortgage is exciting, but it can also be an overwhelming process.

Let the Key Mortgages team guide you and take the stress out of it.

Ryan and his team feel more like a family, which is no surprise as his first recruit was his mum Cathy!

Now a team of 5, they are based in their cosy office just off Mapperley Top.

Thanks for a fun shoot and for the warm welcoming. We loved hearing more about the team.

“Hopefully this video will be able to represent what it looks like to affect a younger generation positively”.

On World Book Day, 4 March 2021 Nottingham Citizens and Matthew 25 launched their campaign . They set a target to raise £10,000 to gift every city primary school in Nottingham a set of racially and culturally diverse reading books.

We are so excited to say that they actually raised over double their target at £25,000. We are super proud to be part of this campaign and to have the opportunity to make this video to celebrate its success, and we couldn't have put it out at a better time than during Black History Month.

To see these books being delivered into schools and being enjoyed by children and teachers is amazing. All children, no matter what background, benefit from appreciating diversity and these books really are helping to inspire and include future generations.

Thank you to everyone who worked on this campaign and to those who donated. You can read more here:

Better Books

Better Books is a profound campaign that we worked on to help make a huge change. Books are a big part of how children learn about the diverse history and culture of their own ancestry and the world beyond. But the books that are available in Primary schools aren't representatively reflective of that diversity.

This campaign helped to raise £10,000 for schools in Nottingham. To find out more, search on Instagram.
