WHO ARE THE SALTWAYS?
Picture this: Emma needed a charity video. Working as a fundraiser for a small charity, she was given the green light to create a film. But there was a catch – she had a tight budget and couldn’t find a production company that could deliver a powerful and emotive film with clear messaging. That’s when she had an idea – she teamed up with her documentary-making brother to start creating affordable and compelling films exclusively for the charity sector.
Now, armed with a deep understanding and empathy of the sector, they create films that truly resonate with the audience. They give charities the space and support in an authentic way, connecting with supporters and driving real impact for their cause. If you’re looking for a powerful way to share your message through charity video or animation, look no further than this dynamic agency of storytelling.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
As a small charity hiring professionals can be a bit of a worry but Emma made the process really easy, she was clear about costs and stuck to our agreed budget.
Emma was exceptionally patient with us being a challenging client, always had a solution focus to any issues arising, and made certain we were happy with our final product(s).
Emma and the team were great, it was a very quick turnaround for a last minute project. Saltways were really flexible, professional and accommodating. Thank you!!
Working with Emma and the team at The Saltways exceeded our expectations. The care taken, and their attention to detail, resulted in a beautiful and sensitively produced film. It was an absolute joy to collaborate with them on this special project.
Absolutely delighted with the work produced by Emma, John and the team. They took the time to understand our story and translate it it a simple but effective film and powerful series of animations. Wouldn't hesitate in working with them again and recommending them to any charity with a story to tell.
The Saltways were hugely helpful to us enabling us to get information films out to our communities quickly and easily. They were highly responsive and undertook the work entirely within our brief, and kept the tech as simple as possible. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
The Saltways got the edits to me in a really decent time and they were really flexible with edits. I felt that they really loved what they were doing, rather than seeing how much money they could make – it all just felt really genuine. I’m 100% going to work with them again.
One of the unique things about The Saltways is that the team truly understand charities and the messages that we need to share.
The Saltways team was very attentive to our needs. They thought outside the box to make this project a success while sticking to our budget.
We are over the moon with the results and all of the work around it that made it a success.
WE LOVE IT! It's perfect! No notes at all, it's everything we asked for and more!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Emma and her team. They were very patient with our requests and delivered excellent work. It is a pleasure to work with them.
I've really enjoyed working with The Saltways on this project and we are very happy with the final video. Thank you!
