The sumac centre is an independent community social centre based in Nottingham. The sumac centre goal is to help children from the ages of 7 to 16 with various things such as homework and general things to keep them from trouble. The sumac centre has work shops where children can express and enjoy themselves.
The sumac youth centre is located in forest fields and the sumac centre is open from 5 pm till 8 pm. The Sumac also provide meeting/socialising space for a groups working to promote social justice, environmental awareness, peace and animal rights. The sumac centre also support community resistance projects of all forms.
The Sumac centre works with the NG7 women together on their conversation skills because English isn't their native language. On top of this the Sumac centre does various events mostly music events, film showings and jumble sells to raise money and awareness. The sumac centre isn't run by anyone its ran by the volunteers who have a say on what happens, open organising meetings are held on the first Monday of every month.

For Libby and Patrick I was unfortunately ill with a bug so I couldn't attend so I have information that happened.
Dom
Dom came in college to discuss what the sumac centre is all about and he also talked about how we as individuals and groups. Dom also went on to talk on how people can donate. His goal was to get us to create a promotional video for the sumac centre because it has no funds and our job as a group is to get people to donate because soon if they don't get finds they might have to shut it down.

Proposal
In this unit I plan to create a promotional video for the sumac centre to help raise funds to help keep the youth centre running. To do this I will have to get involved as a volunteer by going their hands on and while doing this I will try to capture clips where I can add the promotional video. My end goal is to show why people they should donate and I can do this by many different platforms like YouTube, Facebook and twitter I hope by doing this I can help share and promote it to the world through social media. I plan to film on Tuesday and Thursdays because this is the day the boys are in I feel it would be easier for me to get an interview with the boys because I could relate more and come across more friendly.

Plan
on getting the boys to play a game of football and while doing this I would try
to capture the happy moments because I want to show the children are happy but
then the problem with showing that they happy wouldn’t look good as a promo
video because the viewer’s possibly would be more likely to donate if it showed
that they was sad that they don’t have certain things at the centre.
·
Also
plan on taking a clip of the children studying because it would show the good
qualities about the sumac centre
This
is an image of my group member George and I are brainstorming Ideas on how we
can do our promotional video.
Fundraising videos
range from 1 minute to 3 mins but some can even get to 10 minutes but this isn’t
really advised because you can to capture the viewer in quick and get the
message out because people won’t stay up to 10 mins watching a video.
Some important
things to have in these fundraising videos is to get a lot of close ups in the
faces and have a bit where you show statistic the reason for this is the show
the emotions in peoples face and people believe in numbers more than works
social action
for my social action I was planning to go to the sumac centre but my availability was going to be a problem so I decided to do my own thing so I decided to do a little fundraising project and I decided to so a fun one. I came up with the idea of doing slaps and made a poster for it where I showed people and if they wanted to participate and made it a 50p entry.

I went to the F floor where I told the students and teachers about my fund raiser for the sumac centre and I told them all what the sumac centre does and I got a couple students and teachers to get involved and raised up to £3.50 which was very good at such short notice.
