STORIES THAT
START CONVERSATIONS.

Bring a clear brief for sponsorship, media enquiries or a documentary collaboration.

Find the right fit

Street Crime UK's website connects crime reporting with a documentary archive. Its material includes court results, police investigations, criminal history, prison and justice, football and society, and regional collections. Explore the existing work before proposing a partnership so your enquiry can explain where the connection lies.

A useful proposal has a defined purpose: a sponsorship enquiry, a request concerning specific footage, an interview or a documentary collaboration. Describe what you want to achieve and the material or channel you have in mind. Suitability and terms are discussed before any placement or collaboration is agreed.

Sponsorship enquiries

You can enquire about clearly labelled sponsorship opportunities around documentary work, website placements or a campaign across the existing Street Crime UK channels. Include the organisation or brand, the proposed subject and why it is relevant to this reporting and documentary audience.

Set out your intended dates, proposed deliverables and budget range. If your brief concerns a particular film, collection or report, include its link. A proposal should make the commercial relationship clear and keep sponsored material distinguishable from the factual account and original sources surrounding it.

Footage and media requests

Identify the exact footage, film or interview you want to discuss. A title and link are a useful start; add the relevant passage or time range if your request concerns one part of a programme. Explain whether you need an extract, a reference, an interview or another form of collaboration.

Describe where the material would appear, the proposed audience, the length of use and any edit you intend to make. Availability and permitted use depend on the rights to the particular material. A film appearing in this archive does not mean every image, police release or third-party contribution can be supplied for another project.

Documentary and content collaborations

For a new project, give a concise account of the subject, its connection to Street Crime UK and the sources or material already available. Explain what contribution you are proposing and what you would need from the collaboration. Distinguish confirmed access and facts from possibilities that still need checking.

A strong brief gives the story a wider frame: the investigation, the court outcome, the historical setting or the effect on individuals and communities. Avoid treating a reputation, an arrest or an unsupported allegation as proof. The existing editorial approach shows how sources, archive dates and illustrated artwork are presented.

Prepare your enquiry

Include your organisation, project summary, relevant links, proposed dates, budget range and the best way to reply. Keep the opening message focused enough to explain the request without sending unnecessary personal information or private case material.

Choose Partnership or Footage enquiry in the contact composer. It prepares text to copy; you then send the message through the linked Street Crime UK Facebook or Instagram account. The website does not automatically submit the enquiry or create a booking. For a factual correction, use the correction route so the page and supporting source remain clear.
