Impact Report film nominated in Smiley Charity Film Awards

"Building Trusted Relationships", a short film produced as part of Cyrenians' Impact Report for 2023 has been nominated in this year’s Smiley Charity Film Awards.

The eight-minute film, directed by Bircan Birol and featuring staff, volunteers and supporters of Cyrenians, talks about the importance of enduring and trusted relationships and how people who have experienced trauma can be supported to learn to "speak trust as a second language."
