"Hampshire Constabulary have worked to great effect with City Eye on the Safer Student DVD. City Eye stood out from the other organisations approached not only as the most competitive and professional but also their ethos at providing an educational service to the community. Upon hearing about the work of City Eye we felt this service created a unique opportunity for local residents to engage in the film making process and thus provide a popular diversionary activity.  City Eye went on to produce an excellent product which has been recognised by ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) and also well received by the majority of the Universities and Colleges nationally. Without the work of City Eye I am not sure that the Safer Student DVD would have been possible and prove as popular. The DVD is an important crime prevention tool which has helped promote safety message to countless numbers of students countrywide. Without the support and help of City Eye, I do not feel the end product would have been so successful."

"We have worked with City Eye on several projects over the past 12 months and all of them have been very successful. City Eye have an excellent approach to working with the young people, most of whom are challenging and "hard-to-reach". City Eye delivered one week of the Summer Arts College programme which we run every year. This project is a national programme which aims to embed both literacy and numeracy into arts activities and to help young people achieve the Arts Award. City Eye delivered an engaging and fun week for everyone involved and the high quality end product was something the young people could really be proud of. We are delighted that City Eye will be working with us again on the Summer College programme this year. It is difficult to find practitioners who are truly experienced and able to work with our client group and therefore having a positive relationship with City Eye is of huge value to us. If you need any further information please feel free to contact me directly."

"Working with City Eye has been remarkable in so many ways. The strong points for us, as we work for a Mental Health Trust, that they understand the needs of the organisation but also really listened and validated the views of the service users which meant real partnership working, I felt they were committed to the voices of those who mattered in this project, and that was the service users. There is totally inclusion with City Eye.

The service users involved had a fantastic learning experience; they got to try out film production, on all levels, and we got so much more than a good finished product. This is being used to great success in our organisation. We went on a journey, in an environment of creative learning. We certainly felt our ideas were listened too, with the added advantage of someone with the experience to let you know honestly what will and won’t work."
