The award-winning wildlife film director and producer James Brickell will deliver a keynote speech at the Central Qualifications (CQ) Graduation and Awards Ceremony on Saturday, 9 June.

A winner of three BAFTAs and an EMMY, James’ wildlife filmmaking career spans over 20 years. He has spent most of that time with the world famous BBC Natural History Unit, where he has been responsible for some genuine ‘world-firsts’ in wildlife filmmaking.

His television career to date includes The Really Wild Show, Big Cat Diary, Wildlife on One, Planet Earth II and Life in Cold Blood. After a year of living and filming on location in Australia, James also produced Great Barrier Reef with TV presenter Monty Halls.

 Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.
