Custody Navigators

I had a good time filming inside Sheffield's custody suite this week. A new scheme has been launched in the city to help young people caught up in violence to find a way out. At least ten men have been stabbed to death in the city since 2018. The Violence Reduction Unit has been set up by the Police and Crime Commissioner to tackle the problem.

Courier Fraud

South Yorkshire Police are warning people not to fall victim to courier fraud. This is where people are conned into believing they have to take money out of their bank account to then be collected by a scammer pretending to be a police officer or bank worker. Elderly and vulnerable people are particularly at risk. I filmed with a victim of courier fraud in Rotherham who I felt very sorry for.

Sick Children's Trust

I was asked to make a promotional film about the charity the Sick Children's Trust which has two houses in Sheffield where parents of children who are being treated at the children's hospital can stay. It's such a valuable space for parents and I was keen to help publicise their fundraising efforts so was happy to give my time for free.



I also made a report for BBC Look North on the story...
