FREE Photography & Storytelling Course for Over 60’s

Photojournalism Hub is offering a Free Photography and Storytelling course for people aged 60+ living in Hammersmith and Fulham thanks to the kind support of Hammersmith United Charities. The project starts on the 13th of May and it lasts for 8 wks. It is a wonderful project in which participants will be learning basic photography and storytelling and will slowly work in pairs to produce a photo story of each other. The resulting photo stories will be published in a photo book which will be donated to all participants for themselves and their loved ones.  A registering page with further information is here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/about-us-tickets-146967526829

I am also more than happy to have a phone call with those with an interest to join and would like further elucidation: Cinzia D’Ambrosi, Photojournalist, +44 7960940766

Funders Meeting by Nigel Jacques at Sobus

On the 27th April, we met with some of our local funders: Hammersmith United Charities; Dr Edwards and Bishop King’s Fulham Charity; and UNITED in Hammersmith and Fulham. Kensington and Chelsea were also represented with a local funder.

We had 66 participant organisations interacting with the funders about potential applications. And what was really good was that the funders expressed what they liked to see in terms of applications, as well as talking about their priorities. The whole event lasted about 1 and a half hours and everyone, who wanted to, got to speak to the funder.
