ANIMATION FOR Charities & Nonprofits
We create expressive, high-impact animation for the third sector – helping charities and nonprofits raise awareness, tell stories and drive action through campaign video, social content and outreach animation.
Whether you're looking to raise awareness or funds – or both – animation is a powerful way to connect with people and inspire action.
We've worked with organisations from across the third sector, including Mencap, UK Youth, the Royal College of Nursing, the Grierson Trust, English Heritage, Breathe Arts & Health Research, WEN Wales and more.
We love creating animation for good. As one of the first ever animation companies worldwide to be certified as a B Corp™, we've been independently verified as meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. We're proud to be women-owned, and all our work is carbon-positive.
We offer not-for-profit rates and expert guidance to help you make the most of your budget, along with a suite of social-media-ready clips and images from the animation to extend your reach and impact.
Picl Animation has been an absolute dream to work with. From the ideas they brought to the table at the first meeting and throughout the process, their energy and drive for the project brought the film to life. I’d strongly recommend them – and have been recommending them to whoever will listen since I began working with them. I love the final project and would certainly use them again. Responsive, creative, quirky, and women-led, with a nuanced understanding of creating bespoke animations in both Welsh and English. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

We've been working with the Royal College of Nursing on multiple campaigns since 2020, from full suites of animation and comics instrumental in campaigns, through to annual advent calendars for their members.
The Awen Project | vision video animation
We collaborated with The Awen Project, co-founded by Charlotte Church, to visualise their vision for a new kind of democratic, nature-connected education. We co-facilitated creative workshops with young people, and produced animation for this vision video earning 4.8K views on YouTube.
Books Council of Wales | broadcast advertisements
In collaboration with Atebol, we created 3 x 30-second broadcast ads promoting Books Council of Wales' recommended Christmas titles – helping to boost book sales and reading engagement over the festive season.
Cardiff Animation Festival | Animated BSL welcome
We worked with Cardiff Animation Festival and BSL consultant Heather Williams to create animated British Sign Language clips for use across in-venue trailers and social media marketing, supporting CAF's commitment to access and inclusion in the arts.
Mencap Cymru | Storytelling research animation
We worked with Mencap Cymru to create this animated video bringing to life new research on the power of storytelling, and the importance of helping people with learning disabilities take control of their own story, for dissemination at academic events and on web, email and socials.
The Planet Positive Animation Network | launch video
We teamed up with Cardiff Animation Festival to create this launch animation for their new Planet Positive Animation Network, encouraging sustainability and climate-conscious creativity across the industry. We created the launch animation, optimised for web and social media dissemination, and CAF used the video across web and socials to promote engagement with the network.
Breathe Arts & Health Research | celebration film
We collaborated with Yarrow Films to bring animation to a short film celebrating over a decade of work at Breathe Arts Health Research; a social enterprise that designs and delivers creative programmes, underpinned by scientific research, to improve health and wellbeing.
