Woman&home has teamed up with the Charity Film Awards to highlight a stream of important causes.
The Charity Film Awards celebrate short films made by different charities, all of which work towards supporting important causes.
‘Charity Film Awards demonstrate that in the modern world film-making is the most powerful piece of equipment in the charity communication tool box,’ says the organisation on their website.
‘They prove that the common perception of charities’ video content is incorrect. We provide a platform for cause based films to connect with the public to inspire, incite to action, excite and change behaviour.
‘The charities that enter Charity Film Awards have created videos that have the power to move, to warm hearts, to inspire, to engage…. to change the world. To do good. The Charity Film Awards are designed to celebrate those qualities and help charities connect with a wider audience’.
Every year, more than 300 charities take part in the Charity Film Awards. From household names to small local charities, the causes they represent cover children, cancer, homelessness, animal welfare, international development and education.
The films themselves are heart-warming, inspiring and moving.
So woman&home has teamed up with Charity Film Awards to bring you a moving selection of the best of these films.
Woman&home’s special set of films includes five options that have been shortlisted to win the award – and fans can contribute to their success by casting a vote for their favourite.
First up is a film by the Born Free Foundation, an international wildlife charity that aims to ‘Keep Wildlife in the Wild’.
Second is a film by the Anthony Nolan charity, which campaigns to support those living with blood cancer by finding incredible people who are willing to donate stem cells.
Another option is a film made by the Campaign to End Loneliness that aims to encourage conversation and connection in order to tackle the nationwide epidemic.
Charity School Food Matters also created a film in order to encourage fresh and sustainable eating among school children, while company British Gas has teamed up with Carers UK to make their film.
The film has been made to highlight the impact that caring for someone who is older, disabled or seriously ill can have on a long-term carer’s life.

Aleesha is digital shopping writer at woman&home - so whether you're looking for beauty, fashion, health or home buys, she knows all the best places to splash your cash. She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 after graduating from University of Leeds in 2014 with a BA in English and Spanish (which took her to Madrid for a fun Rioja and tapas-packed year). Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
