Dear Head for Change,

My name is Hamish Thorpe and I am a third-year sports business and broadcasting student at UCFB.

I am getting in touch as I am currently in the process of creating a documentary centred around concussion awareness, with a particular focus on the incredible work being done by organisations like yours. I have been deeply impressed by the impact your charity has on raising awareness and supporting individuals affected by concussions, and I believe that sharing your story will contribute significantly to my project.

My documentary aims to shed light on the critical issue of concussions in the context of sports, with a special focus on rugby. I plan to highlight the personal stories of individuals who have been impacted by concussions and the efforts of charities like yours to promote awareness, prevention, and recovery.

I am writing to kindly request your permission and support to access and film with your charity. I am are interested in capturing interviews, events, and activities that showcase the valuable work you do in the field of concussion awareness. If possible, I would love to film an interview with one of your founders Alix Popham, I find his story inspirational and fits the aim of my documentary well.

Please let me know if it would be possible to schedule a meeting or discussion to further explore this opportunity. I am flexible and willing to work within your schedule and guidelines, ensuring that the filming process is minimally disruptive to your daily operations.

If you have any questions, concerns, or require additional information about my project, please feel free to reach out to me on this email or 07530185152.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Hamish Thorpe
