New Photography Exhibition Highlights Human Stories of Homelessness and Local Charity’s Vital Work
A new photography exhibition, 1 in 300,000, will launch at Chichester Cathedral on 20th September 2024. It will highlight the transformative work of our charity. More than 300,000 people in England are likely to spend Christmas experiencing some form of homelessness.
Created by local social documentary photographer Andrew Cameron, the exhibition features 11 powerful images that reveal the human stories behind homelessness. He spent 12 months working closely with our clients, staff, and volunteers, capturing moments of challenge, as well as resilience and hope.
The exhibition’s launch coincides with our annual ‘BIG Sleep Out’ fundraising event, held within the Cathedral grounds, which is also taking place this weekend.
It offers a rare glimpse into the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness, demonstrating that with compassion and community support, there is the possibility of a different life for those affected.
The photographs will be on display at Chichester Cathedral from Friday 20th September and will then move on to Graylingwell Chapel and Chichester Festival Theatre in December.
“It’s been a privilege to work with Stonepillow,” photographer, Andrew Cameron, said of the exhibition.
“Through these images, I aim to show the potential and strength of those affected by homelessness. With the right support, people can rebuild their lives, and I’m proud to play a part in raising awareness for this important cause.”
Head of Fundraising and Communications, Debbie Jupe, added: “We are excited to collaborate with Andrew on this powerful exhibition, and we encourage the local community to come and see these compelling images for themselves. Our goal is to not only highlight the challenges faced by the homeless but also to show how we, as a community, can be part of the solution.”
There’s still time to join the BIG Sleep Out on the 21st September. Every pound raised helps us continue our life-changing work. To sign up or donate, visit www.stonepillow.org.uk/big-sleep-out-2024/
