"The Developing Evidence Enriched Practice (DEEP) programme based in Swansea and Bangor Universities supports the use of diverse types of evidence in learning and development using story and dialogue methods across social care and health services. Careful attention to how evidence is  gathered and presented is key to the success of DEEP. Over the past 4 years, we have been fortunate to work with Eifion and Sarah in applying their creative and tender film making abilities to work on this task. They have been able to gather and  present complex evidence in  meaningful, engaging and deeply human ways that have engaged the mind and hearts of everyone who has watched them. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone."

“Working with We Are Torchy was a pleasure from start to end. They were our film partner on the European Regional Development Fund supported RICE project, which sought to explore the impact of carbon transitions in partnership with organisations across South Wales including the University of South Wales, Swansea University, Tata, Rockwool, and Welsh Water. 
We Are Torchy were able to communicate complex problems with simplicity and elegance, bringing a new perspective and making them accessible to a wide audience of stakeholders.  The film that they made has enabled us to start conversations in education, policy, and practice arenas.”

'Eifion and Sarah came to us strongly recommended by Swansea Bay University Health Board. As soon as we met, we knew we were in fantastic hands and we had the perfect partners onboard. We Are Torchy's film has proved the most invaluable asset for Dance to Health and has really got people's attention. It's a great way to show prospective funders and partners what the programme is about through the eyes of the participants themselves. It has really opened doors for us and has helped build partnerships with clinicians, NHS bodies, arts organisations and venues. It’s not easy to get busy politicians, policymakers, clinicians and funders out to see projects in action but, through film, they can get an instant sense of what your work entails and the difference it is making to people. I really recommend We Are Torchy as a first-class partner not only to advocate for your work but to help evaluate and tell your story too.”

Working with We Are Torchy on the Better Together: Building networks and an alliance for stronger communities in Wales film was a genuine collaboration. Talented and professional, Eifion and Sarah brought real insight to complex subject, centring on how partnerships across Wales can better connect evidence, policy and action to strengthen community led action. The creative dimension they brought to the piece was both insightful and precise. The film brilliantly distils ideas, captures multiple perspective and reflects on some of the big questions about collaboration and impact. It is therefore more than a record of the event and has become a catalyst for future thinking and action. Throughout the project, their professionalism, openness and instinct for the subject matter were evident. Working with them was a genuine pleasure.
