Peter McVerry Trust Project




Peter McVerry Trust Project

As part of the Professional Animation Project, we were given the opportunity to develop a 15 to 30 second animation for the Peter McVerry Trust, a charity set up to reduce homelessness in Ireland and the damge caused by drug abuse and social disadvantage.

About Peter McVerry Trust

Peter McVerry Trust is committed to reducing homelessness, the harm caused by substance misuse and social disadvantage. Peter McVerry Trust provides low-threshold entry services, primarily to younger people and vulnerable adults with complex needs, and offers pathways out of homelessness based on the principles of the Housing First model.  

Aims
  • To target those most marginalised in society and offer a safe, challenging and supportive environment through our service provision.
  • To treat participants with warmth and respect and actively encourage them to be involved in all aspects of their own support plan.
  • To offer a comprehensive prevention package of support to reduce the likelihood of homelessness to those leaving care, those leaving treatment, those leaving prison or other institutions and those whose accommodation is vulnerable.
  • To offer a comprehensive package of support that will provide the best opportunity possible for them and assist them in planning a pathway out of homelessness or drug use, or if they continue to use drugs, to assist them towards some level of stabilisation in order to live a life of dignity, with respect and opportunity.
  • To assist each person to re-establish himself or herself in the community and move towards greater independence.

Story Ideas

The style I had in mind was paper cut out, with maybe digital animation layered over it. I do not have a set story in mind just yet, however I have an idea involving an enlarged environment where the character appears small next to mundane items and objects. A scene in mind would be set on a kitchen table and the character, describing his story, would be represented by things like cups or salt shakers.
