Participants will have the wonderful opportunity to learn photography, photo storytelling whilst documenting green spaces in and around the borough of Westminster and in particular Church Street ward.The project will have two workshops per month, one at Paddington Library and one as a practical workshop, so participants will be taking photographs in and around the local area.

The project includes:

  • mindfulness-inspired field photography walks
  • photo documentation of the local area through the changes of the seasons
  • befriending activities and trips
  • contributing in a photography archive accessible to the wider community
  • showcasing your work in a photography exhibition

Each month, participants will have one workshop at Paddington Library and one practical workshop that included photography walks in and around Westminster wards.
