To mark its 20^th anniversary year Inspired Film and Video has launched 20 Good Deeds, a year-long commitment to delivering 20 meaningful acts of community support in 2026.

The Inspired team will be volunteering, fundraising, mentoring young people and supporting grassroots organisations that may not otherwise have access to professional creative resources. Each activity is designed to create tangible benefit while strengthening long-term relationships in the region.

Comprised largely of University of Staffordshire alumni, the company works for high-profile clients around the UK and globally from its base in Stoke-on-Trent.

Managing Director Daniel Stubbs said: “We have always believed that being a business carries a responsibility to contribute, support and help our local area thrive. This ethos has shaped how we operate, guiding both our client work and our wider community engagement.

“To mark our twentieth year we have launched 20 Good Deeds. This initiative reflects our gratitude for two decades of support and our desire to give back in a structured, consistent and impactful way.”

Alongside fundraising, education and skills development remain central to Inspired Film and Video’s long-term commitment. For the past eight years it has have funded an annual £750 filmmaking bursary for students at University of Staffordshire. This bursary helps students bridge the gap between academic study and professional production, enabling them to complete final projects to a higher standard.

Inspired also regularly provides paid placements, freelance opportunities and structured work experience for young people across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire. This year it is hosting four T Level Media students from Stoke-on-Trent College for a two-week placement in June. This immersive experience will allow them to work within a live production environment, gaining insight into professional standards, workflows, and expectations.

Daniel added: “The 20 Good Deeds initiative is not a departure from our usual work, but a continuation of values that have guided us for two decades. It builds on a long-standing commitment to education, charity partnerships and local engagement. Rather than a one-off campaign, it represents the evolution of an approach we have always believed in.

“Being based in Stoke-on-Trent is central to our identity. The city and wider Staffordshire region have shaped who we are, both creatively and culturally. The resilience, creativity and strong sense of community we see locally continues to inspire our work and reinforce our values. We are proud to support the individuals and organisations that make this area such a vibrant place to live and work.”
