📷 World Photography Day is the perfect chance to celebrate one of the brilliant projects funded through our Blue Sparks programme.

Over 15 weeks, Fotonow CIC supported young people to explore their connection with Plymouth Sound National Marine Park through photography, film and creative storytelling. From photo walks on the Hoe to a final exhibition at Plymouth Arts Cinema, they shared fresh perspectives on Plymouth’s blue spaces while building skills, confidence and new friendships.

One participant said the project “taught me how to use cameras and made me lots of friends”.

Thank you to Fotonow CIC, Plymouth Arts Cinema, the National Marine Aquarium, the volunteers and, most importantly, the young people who made this project amazing!
