“I’ve never had a gift for Christmas Day”

James became homeless when he was 16. He had never had a Christmas present.

While most of us were celebrating with family and friends, enjoying good food and exchanging gifts with our loved ones, James was sofa-surfing. Poverty and his mother’s ill-health left him with nowhere to go.

But Scottish charity Quarriers was able to support James with some essentials and treats, including some festive food and a warm blanket. This Christmas, James will celebrate in his own one-bedroom flat provided by the local authority.

Quarriers supports young people in Northeast Scotland who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Unfortunately, Christmas gifts aren’t considered a funding priority and Quarriers depends on the generosity of donations.

This year, the Signal team are proud to support them by providing toiletries packs, festive food hampers, Christmas parcels and home-sweet-home bundles. We hope we can inspire you to do the same.

Just £15 would provide someone like James with a Festive Food Hamper and let them know that they are worthy, that they matter and deserve things that most of us take for granted.

To find out more, and make a donation, please head to the Quarriers website 😀

The Signal film crew had the privilege of capturing history in the making: the decommissioning of Brent Charlie, the largest and most complex of the four iconic Brent platforms

This 31,000-tonne engineering giant is being dismantled and brought back home. A monumental challenge for Shell’s crack decommissioning team.

Witness the ingenuity and precision it takes to retire this giant. It’s not just a feat of engineering; it’s an emotional farewell to an era that shaped an industry.

Give it a watch! 👍

Every Day’s A School Day! 😃

Our Production Co-Ordinator, Heather, went back to school recently. She was invited to Kemnay Academy to give a presentation to second year media students, interested in film making. Heather showed them how to break down scripts, identify cast, props, and locations. The pupils took what they’d learned and set to work trying it themselves and use these skills to help with their own school film projects.

Signal are committed to helping nurture north-east talent to improve their opportunities. We were delighted to be able to help the next generation explore the world of filmmaking.

Thank you to Kemnay Academy for inviting us and we’re looking forward to seeing the media pupils’ final projects 🎬
