Vote for Isle Access film on young mental health issues in Smiley Awards

Isle Access, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting inclusivity and accessibility for disabled people, proudly announces the submission of their impactful short film to the Smiley Charity Film Awards 2024.

The film, funded by a grant from Isle of Wight council, addresses the critical mental health issues of young people facing additional needs.

Short compelling film
Last year, Isle Access received a small grant from the Isle of Wight council to produce a compelling short film shedding light on the challenges faced by young individuals with additional needs, specifically focusing on the theme of loneliness and its profound impact on the participants.

The result is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant film, which can be viewed on YouTube.

Smiley Charity Film Awards 2024
To gain further recognition for the young people features, Isle Access has entered the film into the prestigious Smiley Charity Film Awards 2024. These awards celebrate and honour outstanding films that positively impact society.

As part of the competition, the winners are determined by public vote, making community support crucial to Isle Access’ success.

Voting is open until Wednesday, January 24th, 2024, and supporters can cast their votes by visiting the official awards website.

Isle Access believes that the power of film can be a catalyst for positive change, and with the community’s support, they aim to raise awareness about the mental health challenges faced by young people with additional needs.
