Storytelling that sparks action: why we’re sponsoring the Saltways Charity Film Festival 2026

At Yoyo, we believe that every great charity is built on a great story. It’s how you connect with your audience, convey the urgency of your mission, and inspire people to make a difference.

That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that we are sponsoring the Saltways Charity Film Festival 2026.

This festival celebrates the raw, emotive, and transformative power of visual storytelling in the third sector. We’ll be sharing the stage with some fantastic fellow sponsors and, most importantly, witnessing the incredible work of charities bringing their causes to life on the big screen.

But as a digital agency, you might be wondering: why a film festival?

So how do we help charities take their stories further?

1. Building human-centred experiences

Your website shouldn't just be an information hub; it should be an extension of your charity's narrative. Whether we're building flexible platforms on Umbraco or streamlining the donation checkout journey, our goal is to create intuitive, friction-free experiences that guide your supporters exactly where they need to go.

2. Designing for true accessibility

A story isn't truly powerful unless everyone can experience it. We advocate heavily for digital accessibility ensuring that websites aren't just beautifully designed, but are usable, clear, and fast for people of all abilities.

3. Amplifying comms with smart tech

We know that charity communications teams are often stretched thin. By leveraging the right digital architecture and AI tools, we help teams automate the mundane admin so they can focus on what they do best: telling the stories that matter.

4. Aligning tech with ethics

Your digital presence shouldn't compromise your charity's mission. That’s why we champion initiatives like green hosting, ensuring that the carbon footprint of hosting your powerful video content doesn't cost the earth.

See you at the festival?

We are thrilled to support an event that champions the creativity and passion of the charity sector. The Saltways Charity Film Festival is going to be a fantastic showcase of visual storytelling, and we can't wait to see the impactful narratives on display.

If you’re attending the festival, come and find the Yoyo team. We're offering free 1-2-1 Digital Sessions to all charities as part of our sponsorship too.

We’d love to chat about the films, grab a coffee, and discuss how we can help your charity's digital presence work just as hard as your campaigns do.
