Support Us
Photo 51 CIC is a community interest company. Everything we generate goes back into the work. Your support puts creative tools, skilled facilitators and safe spaces in front of young people who are too often left out of the frame.
Make a donation
Every pound goes back into the work
Donations pay for the things grants rarely cover: travel for young people who could not otherwise attend, food at sessions, kit that stays in young people’s hands, and the time it takes to build trust before a programme even starts.
Get in touch and we will send you the details for a one-off or regular gift. You can also tell us if you would like your donation to support a particular programme.

The gap we work in
Young people in underserved communities across London face barriers that mainstream education and the creative industries rarely address together.
- Limited access to high quality creative media training and professional equipment
- Youth programmes that are generic, top-down and disconnected from lived experience
- A creative industry pipeline that stays out of reach for young people from low income and minoritised backgrounds
- Wellbeing needs, particularly among girls and those affected by adverse childhood experiences, that standard provision misses
- Digital skills gaps that limit employability and civic participation
Ways to support
Every route below starts with a conversation. The buttons open a short email that is already written.
Sponsor
Back a named programme, a season of workshops or a showcase, with clear recognition agreed up front.
Equipment and space
Cameras, audio gear, editing machines, podcast kit, or a room to work in. Kit goes straight into young people’s hands.
Skills and partnership
Pro bono expertise, mentoring, industry visits, or co-delivery. Open doors young people cannot open on their own.
What you can expect from us
Honest reporting, including what did not work. Published safeguarding, privacy, equality and complaints policies. A named safeguarding lead on every programme. Consent before any young person appears in any image or film.
