LONDON: ALL3MEDIA has secured a range of deals for the hit German format Helping Hearts, which rallies a community’s spirit and skills to help less-fortunate families. 

Helping Hearts reaches out to those in need, facilitating them as they take the first steps on their road back to happiness. The format is now set for production throughout Europe, with options taken in France, Poland, Norway and Sweden. In Germany, Helping Hearts, called Helfer mit Herz, is in its third season. The format was developed by time 2 talk entertainment, part of the ALL3MEDIA group of companies. 

Ulrich Hansbuer of time 2 talk entertainment commented, "We are delighted to see this success for Helping Hearts internationally. The show continues to go from strength to strength in Germany since its launch. Watching the pride of those helping and the joy of those being helped is a truly inspirational experience, proving that community spirit is still alive and well."

It generated strong interest from international producers and broadcasters when launched and we are confident that its success in Germany will be matched in these new territories."
