Lippy People CIC is a social business designed to have a positive social impact. It was established to create opportunities for voice, influence and involvement within civil society. The company uses filmmaking and social media distribution as a means to fulfill these social goals and primarily collaborates with people who, for whatever reason, feel marginalised, disenfranchised or ignored within the decision making processes that effect them.

Lippy People projects are creative collaborations using film, new media and the belief that storytelling and story sharing can directly affect social change. Our values encompass shared experience, diversity, self-expression and inclusion.

Lippy Peoples Creative Offer

Video Clusters – These are clusters of short films exploring social issues from the perspectives of the people whose lives are directly affected by them. ‘Video Clusters’ enable the storyteller to tell their story in the way they wish and supports them to be involved in civil society.

Enquiry Films

These films are large-scale creative enquiries that bring together a variety of stakeholders around a key ‘social’ question. Enquiry Films are all about sharing collective knowledge and ideas, producing contemporary social archives and supporting people to contribute to decision-making and policy.

Communication Media

Whether it be through films, photographs, websites or a combination of all three, it’s important for social businesses and social projects to share their offer, ideas and social impact.
