Educational resources

Our free educational resources provide you with ready-made assemblies and content for lessons that will bring the Day to life.

We have a range of films which tell children's own stories of living with a genetic disorder.

All of the films come with teacher's notes to help you discuss what your class has seen.

Tailored to your needs

Our films can be used as engaging content for science lessons, PSHE or assemblies.

They're accompanied by worksheets, activities and can be used all year round.
