Welcome to The Videobox

The Videobox is a not for profit Arts organisation specializing in video production with a community focus. We use digital arts, mainly film, as a tool for engagement, training, consultation and empowerment.

We deliver creative participatory projects with people of all ages and backgrounds, including film making, creative writing, photography and mixed media. We work in schools (secondary, primary and SEND), with local community groups and social housing providers and have produced work for local authorities, the NHS and national organisations.

"Just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for the 
inspiration you have given Sam and James this past week - they have 
thoroughly enjoyed it - they talk about Ian and how much they have 
learnt from all of you. They have been on other film related summer 
activities before - but this by far has been the one they have enjoyed. Thank you again."
