More equipment & Campervan for The Real Stories

Hello everyone,

First, I want to thank everyone who supported me in getting my equipment. If you’ve already donated to my camera or other gear, please don't contribute again, as you've already given so much. Thanks to your generosity, I now have an incredible camera that I never thought I'd own for a long time.

I’m now looking to take things further. My goal is to get a campervan to travel around the UK and share people's stories and make amazing content. Please note the money I raise on this is for a deposit on a campervan and then I will try and pay monthly, they aren’t as cheap as I thought. Many individuals can’t reach me due to mental health, financial constraints, or disabilities, and this van would help me expand my reach. I’ve been told that my work is saving lives, which means the world to me, and I want to continue growing this cause.

While I dream of getting a new van with my logos and YouTube link on it, the cost is high. So, I’m considering starting with an older model for a few years until I can save more myself and expand. I’ll still add my logos and YouTube link to it, regardless.

In addition, I’m wanting to get a bit more equipment, specifically an extra shotgun microphone as I have been advised to have this as well as a radio mic. Lighting, a GoPro with a mic, memory cards, batteries for my new camera, and more bits and bobs. I also need a new drone, one that complies with legal guidelines (my current one is broken). Please also note that I now have enough equipment to do my work, the above is just helpful things. I now own a Sony FS7 which is amazing!

Please note that the campervan is a bit of a dream for me. While it would be extremely helpful and allow me to connect with even more people, I can still do most of my work without it. However, I truly believe it could help my work grow in a big way. I’m thinking outside the box and going all in because I want to keep doing this for the long haul.

Feel free to check out my website at therealstories.co.uk and my [email redacted]ty.

More stories, short films, and documentaries are on the way.

I would rather people pop £5 on here than buy me a coffee or gift me on TikTok :)

Thanks a lot

Josh
