For over a decade we’ve provided free cameras and photography equipment to thousands of people around the world; working to remove barriers, democratise photography, and enable access to photography for everyone.

We’ve supported those affected by social injustices, including homelessness, displacement, and poverty, through equipment, advice, and the delivery of high-quality creative projects.

Photography is such a powerful tool for communication and connecting people, we didn’t want to see anyone excluded or unable to tell their own important stories.

Our work has supported  hundreds of projects – from individual cameras for young carers in the UK, equipment for refugees in asylum, and fully equipped workshops for mental health patients, to a mobile darkroom for Syrian children, workshops for kids in Namibian refugee settlements, and a program across Kenya’s National Libraries for at-risk youths – we’ve been honoured to support them all.

Alongside the obvious social impact, there’s been a positive environmental impact too, reducing electronic waste and enabling people to pass on unused equipment that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.
