As apart of the 2nd year BA photography course we had to produce a collaborative body of work and exhibit within a public space, drawing in not just students and tutors but also the locals. The project developed into one that was to raise awareness of donating furniture to your local charity. Our source of display was therefore at the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Furniture Showroom and Donation Centre which is a charity that cares for those who are terminally ill.
The hospice relies greatly upon donations from the public as the NHS covers less than 16% of their costs. Each day it costs a phenomenal £10,000 to offer their care and support.
So I'm proud to say the project was a success and as a group we managed to raise roughly £200 for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.
This was in the local county newspaper (with a clipping of the article which I can not find!)
