Charity Film "A Touch of Hope" Released

Owain Astles' charity commercial A Touch of Hope for RugbyWorks has just been released and I am proud to have worked as sound designer and mixer on this project. On average, 129 young people are excluded from school each week. The lifetime cost to the state of permanently excluding one young person is estimated to be £370,000, let alone the personal cost to a young persons future prospects. Our short film tells the story of how much of an impact team sports can have for young people failed by mainstream education. Watch below and please share with any educators you know who might be interested in helping young people in this way.
