Last Friday, we said goodbye to an incredible man we were deeply privileged to have met.
Filming Alan's story for our film, 'Finding 'Appiness,' had a profound impact on the direction our work at Northern Heart has taken.
This message is to let you know that Alan has found some peace.

We're thrilled to announce two more talented filmmakers have graduated from our Northern Heart Doc Fund!
Last night, we celebrated the incredible new work of directors Roz Di Caprio and Olivia Hird.
Over the past 12 months, we've proudly supported them as they each created a short documentary.
