🎬 Purpose, People, Production
As our new blue door swings open, we’re proud to share a glimpse of the exciting transformation happening at end2end TV CIC.
This short 30-second reel captures just a few of the changes taking shape — from a newly painted space to the creative energy that’s fuelling our next chapter.
Every change we make reflects our core purpose: empowering people of all ages through hands-on learning, collaboration, creativity and tech.
🎓 A Brilliant Start to Our Creative Media Course
This September marked the successful launch of our new BTEC Level 2 Tech Award in Creative Media Production — a major step forward in our mission to give young people real-world media skills and experience.
From beginning to delve into the history of media and film production, including research, developing ideas and types of shots used for different purposes, our learners are already showing incredible enthusiasm and talent.
This course is more than an academic qualification — it’s an opportunity for young creatives to collaborate with others, gain industry skills and build confidence through hands-on, practical learning in a professional environment.
The buzz in the studio has been infectious, and it’s only just the beginning!
💙 Powered by Community and Generosity
We’re incredibly grateful to have received £1,000 from the Bexley Mayoral Fund 2024–25 and £1,500 from a Foresters Grant, which has played an important part in helping us transform our studio space.
Thanks to this funding — and the incredible support of our volunteers, including parent Mrs. Craggs and her children, who spent a Sunday at the start of the month with us: sorting things, organising our new prop corner and building furniture — we’ve been able to turn an empty room into what will soon become our brand-new animation and IT suite: Blue Door Animations.
This project has been a true team effort, and we’re very thankful for everyone who believed in us and gave their time, energy, and creativity to help to make it happen.
Their contributions haven’t just helped us build a new suite — they’ve helped our not-for-profit company expand its mission, transforming our original studio into a larger, more inclusive community space where we’ll be able to offer even more opportunities for young people, families, and lifelong learners moving forward. We will share more about this soon.
🏆 Celebrating Our ‘Outstanding TV & Film Production’ Award Winners
We’re also thrilled to celebrate two incredible members of our crew — Andrew and James Sampson, recipients of this year’s Outstanding TV & Film Production Award at Hurstmere School.
Having been part of the end2end TV family since 2018, Andrew and James have achieved ALOT! From tutoring others at the British Film Institute, supporting many local community projects to fully participating in our highly successful heritage project, Through Our Eyes, their dedication and leadership has inspired those around them over the last eight years!
Their journey perfectly represents what end2end TV CIC has stood for — giving young people opportunities to thrive through hands-on practice, teamwork and accessible, yet often ambitious, film making activities. We are enormously proud of them both and so happy to be able to recognise how very special working with them has been. Congratulations Andrew and James - absolutely well deserved!
Your futures are as bright as you are. ✨
🌟 What’s Next
Walking through our blue studio door is more than just stepping into a new space — it’s stepping into a new era. One that celebrates creativity at every age, building community through collaboration, and keeping learning exciting, practical, and full of purpose.
We also would like to pause momentarily to appreciate what has been a fabulous half term. We are still learning and growing, but right now we are proud to have navigated this very different year so well. As a small company with a lot of heart, soul and genius between us, we have trusted the process and remain smiling!
We can’t wait to share more of what’s coming — from new partnerships and creative projects to opportunities for both young people and lifelong learners. There’s lots to share soon.
💫 Thank You
To everyone who has supported us — our learners, families, funders, schools, project partners and volunteers — thank you. Your kindness and belief in what we do, continue to make an incredible difference.
Here’s to new beginnings, bright ideas, and creativity that starts right here — through the Blue Door.
