Disability Huntingdonshire (DISH) today launches The Difference DISH Makes, a new promotional film produced by Light and Star Media, which highlights the charity’s impact across Huntingdonshire, Fenland and South Cambridgeshire.

Known locally as DISH, the charity supports people with disabilities and older people to access support and apply for welfare benefits to support their needs. The film The Difference DISH Makes profiles DISH’s work and features contributions from staff, clients and referring organisations, offering a powerful insight into the difference the charity makes every day.

The film was created after DISH was selected as the winner of Light & Star Media’s filmmaking giveaway during Small Charities Week 2025.

Both films produced as part of the project are available on DISH’s website at www.dish.org.uk.

Martin John, Director of Light and Star Media, said:

“It has been such a pleasure working with DISH, who won our filmmaking giveaway as part of the 2025 Small Charities Week. Light & Star Media exists to help third sector organisations ‘shine a light and lead the way’ through filmmaking. Unfortunately, people with disabilities are often stigmatised, so my hope is that this short film helps to raise awareness of the issues they face, as well as raise the profile of the excellent work that DISH does in Huntingdonshire and surrounding areas.

Tracy Hyland, Chief Executive of DISH, added:

“This film was created with the sole intention of demonstrating the impact DISH makes, not just to the staff, but to people who use our services or refer to us. The uniqueness of what we do is best told by the people who use our services. We are delighted and incredibly grateful to both the clients and organisations who contributed to this amazing piece of film. For any organisation looking to capture the true impact of their work, I cannot recommend Martin enough. He guided us through the process with professionalism, kindness and patience, and what he has produced is something we are all very proud of.
