We want to make a real difference in our local community, and in the communities of the people we make dramas about. We are committed to trying to action meaningful projects that extend beyond the borders of the TV dramas we make.

Finding and nurturing new talent is at the very core of what we do. We want to provide a space for the next generation to flourish, offer them a foothold in the industry and a platform from which they can take their next steps. Which is why we’ve set up a Writer in Residence award.

Dawn Sturgess Bursary

Dancing Ledge Productions and Wiltshire Creative have partnered to launch a bursary in honour and memory of Dawn Sturgess. The Dawn Sturgess Bursary will provide one budding Drama School acting student with £30,000 towards their living costs while studying. That’s £10,000 a year for 3 years.

Mentoring

We want to be the most creative production company in the industry and believe that a vibrant creative culture helps produce extraordinary projects and that the key to that lies in mentoring.

So we’re thrilled to have ITV, the BBC and Screenskills as partners and funders for our new writer and new director schemes.

Community

Just because we spend our lives making telly doesn’t mean telly is life. We want to make a real difference in our local community, and began this mission by forging a wonderful relationship with our local school, Kensington Aldridge Academy.
