We love working with our clients and supporters and here are some of the things they say about us.
I’m very happy to support the work of 6ft from the Spotlight, and heartened by their collaboration with Bectu / CULT Cymru. Working together we can take better care of our crews and cast and support our industry to create a positive working culture where everyone feels included and can thrive.
Michael Sheen, Actor
Our goal is that this role becomes normalised across industry, because a positive and safe working environment is essential in order to retain our existing talented workforce and to attract new people to the sector.
Jennifer Smith, Head of Inclusion, BFI
We’re on an exciting journey with 6ft from developing a WellBeing Facilitator pilot for Wales’s Screen Sector. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience working with Michelle, Matt and Leo who share our vision of a screen industry that is fair, inclusive and safe for the workforce.
Sian Gale, Bectu/CULT Cymru
A participant said she has done a few Mental Health Courses and this was by far the best one. She said she has never anything resonate with her so much before and she was nearly in tears.
Sarah O Keefe, Screen Alliance Wales
I think we have benefited greatly from having a WBF and the same one for the whole time as trust has been built. This has proved itself in recent weeks after the sudden passing of one of our crew members. The WBF knew the person in question and their relationship to others so could respond accordingly. The WBF also supported the producers, who at that time had to deal with the very sad news but also support and guide others.
Rondo Media
The WBF’s presence on set as someone the crew knew they could seek out, speak to confidentially and resolve issues with, made a big difference to me as a producer.
Theo Barrowclough, Producer, Scrapper
I really appreciated the time you spent with us. I found the subject matter and your delivery inspiring. I look forward to introducing this subject to all future projects.
Graeme Douglas, Mountain and Water Safety
Having a WBF on our set was a gamechanger, she helped keep the cast and crew on track, and was always deep in conversation with someone, which was great to see people actually utilising her and feeling supported throughout the production.
Little Bird Films
In a highly stressful, demanding and physically exhausting job on a film or tv set I found it really made a difference to have someone as caring, kind and compassionate on our team, and it set the tone for everyone else’s behaviour towards one another.
Stella Corradi, Director for BBC
Probably the most engaged and empathetic zoom I have been part of since the pandemic started.
Morgana Melvin, Production Inclusion Manager, Film Fund, BFI
We are becoming very aware of the importance of ensuring the well-being of staff and contributors on TV productions that are becoming increasingly ambitious with dwindling budgets. Productions that require a high level of care and support need to be identified early on, and funding for WBF and other means of support should be available early in pre-production, and throughout post-production.
Darlun TV
I found the WBF presence on set not only calming and reassuring but essential. I have absolutely no doubt that the role of WellBeing Facilitator will become a core member of every crew. It is only a matter of time.
Production Designer, Gini Godwin
Having a Wellbeing Facilitator on our documentary productions allowed our crew and contributors to feel fully supported through the filming period.
