Case Study: Barnardo's brings a foster child's story to life with The Like Minded

Barnardo's brings Rachel’s foster story to life with The Like Minded in a heartfelt animation

Barnardo's, a UK children's charity, wanted to bring the authentic story of a child in foster care to life to help potential foster families understand these experiences. They engaged the vendor, The Like Minded, to create an emotionally resonant animated film based on Rachel's first-hand account.

The Like Minded developed a sensitive, dreamlike animation using cel animation and 2D After Effects, working closely with Rachel to incorporate personal elements like her handwriting. The solution resulted in a powerful and visually engaging foster care awareness film that authentically captured the child's voice and perspective for Barnardo's audience.
