Building Bridges is looking for a volunteer photographer to help us digitise a beautiful collection of full-colour illustrations created by one of our members, who has a learning disability.
These drawings will form part of an exciting storytelling project. Once professionally photographed, the images will be used in presentations, on our website, and in a storybook we are developing.
What you’ll be doing:
• Taking high-resolution, high-quality photographs of original artwork
• Ensuring accurate colour representation and clarity
• Saving and clearly cataloguing digital files in our Google Drive
Approximately two-thirds of the illustrations are already complete, with more being finalised. We are looking for someone who can commit a few hours per week over around six weeks, until all artwork has been photographed.
This is a lovely opportunity to support a creative project and help amplify the voice and talent of an artist with a learning disability.
Pre-agreed travel expenses will be reimbursed.
Building Bridges is an independent social enterprise which makes a difference to the lives of people with a learning disability through training, research and resources by enabling them to be included and have full and valued roles in their local community. We do this through the following activities;
1. Inclusive research with people with a learning disability to understand the issues that affect the lives of people with a learning disability. We have undertaken research projects on topics such as living independently, the election and politics and claiming PIP
2. Training the staff who work with people with a learning disability such as giving good support to parents with a learning disability, making easy read information.
3. Producing resources; these include good practice guidelines for staff, on how to produce easy read information and easy read resources for people with a learning disability such as a keep safe check list, budgeting money and a banking dictionary.
