Bad Wolf believes in opportunity, diversity and inclusion and we are very proud to be associated with, and add value to, the work of the following partners who share our vision and support us.
Find out more below about the work they do and how we support them.
Working in Film and TV doesn’t just involve being in front of the camera as an actor or working as a director or producer.
Bad Wolf’s ambition to foster a global production hub in Wales created Screen Alliance Wales, based at Wolf Studios Wales, in 2018 to educate, promote and train production crews and build infrastructure from primary school children to graduates from the universities and colleges in the area as well as opening the doors to those people who don’t get that many doors opening for them. Their aim is to show just how many varied careers are available within one industry from carpentry to catering to camera work and beyond.
As at June 1st 2023, Screen Alliance Wales has engaged with over 37,500 people and has almost 10,000 vetted crew on it’s database, offering long term trainee placements to 100 individuals so far.
Bad Wolf sponsors Diversity Scholarships at RWCMD which support talented students from underrepresented groups who are enrolling onto an courses in any of RWCMD’s production arts courses. We also host visits for the scholars to the Studio to meet RWCMD graduates and our team.
Bad Wolf also supports the promotion of a new Foundation Degree in Scenic Construction, as well as the Young People’s Production Arts scheme. YPPA is an initiative for 11-18-year-olds from a wide range of backgrounds and communities which aims to give an insight into the world of technical theatre, production and design through specialised workshops, masterclasses and week-long courses within the inspirational setting of RWCMD.
Bad Wolf supports Iris, the leading organisation celebrating LGBT+ film in Cardiff, offering festivals, year-round events, outreach projects, and the world’s largest short film prize, sponsoring of the Iris Prize Festival and the Best Feature Award in particular.
Bad Wolf sponsors It’s My Shout – a leading training scheme, based in Wales, providing training for all ages interested in gaining experience in Film.
Bad Wolf sponsors Hijinx, one of Europe’s leading inclusive theatre companies, creating outstanding performances with learning disabled and/or autistic artists on stage and on screen, for Wales and for the world.
Our partnership involves supporting the film projects undertaken by Hijinx.
Bad Wolf sponsors this world-class producing house which is making visionary, distinctive theatre like nothing else in the Welsh capital, specifically the company’s New Writers programme.
Theatr Clwyd is Wales’ leading producing theatre and regional arts centre and one of the country’s three most significant cultural organisations alongside Welsh National Opera and Wales Millenium Centre. Built in 1976 to provide cultural opportunity for people in North Wales, their mission is to make the world a happier place, one moment at a time.
Bad Wolf supports Theatr Clwyd to provide opportunities for emerging talent through trainee apprenticeships for designers, directors, writers and actors. The connection between Bad Wolf and Theatr Clwyd means together we can provide opportunities in the arts for those living in North Wales across theatre and TV.
Alongside their traineeships, Bad Wolf’s support provides opportunities for young people on their creative journey through our engagement groups with ages from 4-104, with Theatre Clwyd’s bursary programme which provides financial assistance to those unable to attend their workshops otherwise. Meaning that there are no barriers to those wanting to join the creative sector.
Bad Wolf supports the work of BAFTA in Wales by taking part in talent-related masterclasses and events as well as historic sponsorship of the Breakthrough Award at the annual British Academy Cymru Awards to support the charity’s outreach and inclusion aims.
We also supported the Take a Seat campaign in 2021, to play our part in the redevelopment of the iconic 195 Piccadilly BAFTA HQ and the charity’s future talent development programmes.
The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares delivers creative writing workshops in schools, and have had an incredible year so far working with over 600 children in 20 schools across West Dorset. Every child loves the whole concept of a real bank for stories rather than money, and in our workshops they cherish the chance to talk with THE BANK MANAGER on our red hotline phone. You can read more about what they do here: www.thebankofdreamsandnightmares.org
A key ethos of the charity is to engage and inspire dis-engaged children by unleashing their imaginations, and with the addition of the Mobile Banking van we will now have a place for children to come to deposit their stories after a session knowing they will be safe in our vaults.
Bad Wolf have gifted a van that was used in His Dark Materials which will be renovated and used to offer more workshops on the road.
Bad Wolf sponsors the charity’s annual Awards ceremony and works with the team to engage with their public and industry events programme to raise aspirations and inform about opportunities within the company.
Bad Wolf is proud to support The Film and TV Charity. Their team knows that working in film, TV and cinema can be tough. With the support of the industry, they offer free and confidential emotional, financial, and practical support, or just a listening ear, to anyone who needs it.
All of their services can be accessed through their 24-hour Support Line 0800 054 00 00.
