The event will be held on Thursday 9 August in the Bertha Dochouse Screening Room - the UK's first cinema dedicated to documentary films and special events. The 56-seat venue boasts a full size cinema screen and is housed in the newly renovated Curzon Bloomsbury near Russell Square.

After a short introduction from our Creative Producer, Thomas Paul Martin, each speaker will have 15 minutes to share their ideas and experiences related to storytelling. Some will share insights from recent campaigns, while others will explore key themes of storytelling and how they relate specifically to the third sector. The event will close with a lightning talk from our very own Senior Creative Producer, Amber Parsons, who has a wealth of experience developing, directing and producing films for the third sector.

The event is invitation-only and open specifically to those working in the third sector. Thank you to everyone who has registered to attend - this was our fastest selling event to date! For those of you who couldn't make it, please email marketing@raw.london to join the waiting list. And don't forget - the best way to get a space for the next one is to sign up to our mailing list.

And finally, a huge thank you to our speakers. The aim of these events is to promote sharing and growth in the third sector, so they really wouldn't be possible without you!

We look forward to seeing you there!
