Breaking the Chains of Addiction:
Breaking the Chains of Addiction is a powerful film that explores people’s life-changing journeys of recovery told by the individuals who have lived through it. They speak candidly about why they began using substances and how they reached the point where they were ready to seek help.
This film was commissioned by West Northamptonshire and North Northamptonshire Councils and produced by One to One Development Trust in conjunction with Northamptonshire Combatting Drugs and Alcohol Partnership.

Streets of Change:
Amid a worsening housing crisis and levels of poverty in the UK, "Streets of Change" challenges public perceptions by bringing to life the stories of rough-sleepers and the outreach workers who support them. It explores the complexity of homelessness and urges viewers to see beyond stereotypes through personal insights and real-life narratives.
Produced by One to One Development Trust and funded by West Northamptonshire Council.
