I am proud and delighted to announce that my project has been awarded some funding through the UK Film Photography Community Fund from Analogue Wonderland.
Analogue Wonderland’s checkout has an option to contribute a discretionary tip to ‘The Future of Film Photography'. Any money that people choose to put into this box is kept separate and forms the 'Film Photography Community Fund'
Twice a year, the pot is allocated to deserving projects that will provide long-term benefits to the UK film photography community.
This funding has helped me purchase 10 Canon EF mount lenses to pair up with already purchased EOS film bodies, and get them ready for donation to a school or community group in the North East of England.
If you know of a school or group in the North East of England that would benefit from a donation of photography equipment, get in touch with me via the 'Contact' page.

Journey Enterprise, Acomb
My third donation came out of the power of social media. I received a message through the Facebook page I created about the project. Not from a school, but from a charity that supports people with learning disabilities in the north east. Their vision is that everyone should have happy, inclusive and fulfilling lives - and that includes photography.

Prudhoe Community High School
My part of Northumberland has three high schools. I've already helped two of them, so I contacted the third to see what, if anything, I could do for them. Their Lead Practitioner for Design Technology & Media got in touch with slightly different needs. A challenge - but I had it covered...
