Amanda Hailes and Susie Winter are co-founders of An Untold Story-Voices. Both have Lived Experience of multiple unmet needs.
They use their own personal experiences to help shape policy, practice and system change by raising awareness, campaigning and activism.
They were asked to talk about their lived experiences of multiple unmet needs for the break the cycle report. In this report those with lived experience were directly quoted from a first-person perspective.
They were involved right from the start of this co-produced project. Immersing themselves in everything from initial ideas, to helping choose the filmmakers. They were also involved in creating the 3 characters for the film, and to the filming itself.
Tom the producer and Rob the director were incredibly generous with their time and support in making this one of the best experiences of co-production and involving the voice of lived experience.
Everyone in this co-produced project, Hull City Council, Changing Futures, Mojo Films and An Untold Story - Voices bought their own ideas, expertise and experiences to make this a project we are incredibly proud of.
The film 'One City One Beat' is powerful, real and emotive, giving a snapshot of three lives and the need to come together as a city to better help and support those with multiple unmet needs.
