Journey Enterprise, Acomb

June 2021

Andy is a life skills coach, working for Journey Enterprises, a charity that supports people with learning difficulties based in Acomb, Northumberland. He is a keen photographer that has a love of stills film photography, and a strong belief that photography can benefit the people he supports.
Andy introduced 10 of the people he supports to stills film photography and they loved it. The only problem for him, was he didn't have enough cameras to share about. So, he reached out to me through the Facebook page and asked if I could consider them for a donation. I was delighted to.
Pictured is Andy and Sarah, the Hub Manager, receiving five Canon EOS cameras for the use of their clients. I'm excited to see the work they do with them in the future.
