Beyond horizon
Several of our students this year went on to further training in film & photography at the Brighton Film School and some have even gone in to shadow within professional media businesses in Brighton & Hove.
Above all, we want to show that a happy, healthy, sustainable recovery IS possible. With creative outlets, new skills and opportunities and stronger links to the recovery network, we want everyone to flourish in this safe, creative environment.
Building new found friendships, support one another and find creative outlets whilst enjoying our time, RIGHT HERE. Right now. Together.
Past students displayed their film & photography work at the Brighton Fringe Festival 2019 - in the Unframed Lives exhibition.
We were proudly shortlisted for the 2019 'Visual Arts Award'
